Scout

10th October = World Mental Health Day 🌍 This year’s theme set by the World Federation of Mental Health is Workplace Mental Health - Highlighting the importance of addressing mental health and wellbeing in the workplace, for the benefit of people, organisations, and communities 🏢 Yesterday, Scout's very own Mental Health First Aider Lucy McNally hosted a suuuper insightful session for the team around the following topics:   🧠 What is Mental Health? 📊 Statistics around the most common conditions • Did you know that Depression affects 1 in 5 people? • With 1 in 10 people experiencing Anxiety!  🤝🏼 Implementing a positive Mental Health Culture in the workplace 👩🏻💻 Understanding Mental Health & how it can impact our jobs 🤗 Implementing coping mechanisms - Some examples of things that work for us at Scout, include: • Social media breaks • Dedicated family "date nights" • Long walks • Socialising with closest friends • Self care (doing the things YOU love 🫵) • Exercise classes 🗣️ Importance of TALKING! We love this one at Scout and regularly encourage each other to feel comfortable sharing (or sometimes just listening!) through our following calls: • #BrewMonday ☕️ - We take 30 minutes to talk about anything BUT work! • Monthly Peaks/Pits calls 🏔️ - We reflect together on the previous month/quarter and share our personal peaks (high points or successes) and pits (low moments or difficult times) in a completely safe space ☺️ To round off our discussion, Lucy McNally left us with some top tips to help us ensure we are always feeling the best we can 👈 which doesn't always mean 100%! These were: 🎯 Set goals (even small tasks, like making your bed in the morning!) 📸 Remember that social media isn't real 🤗 Practice gratitude ❤️ Be kind, always 💚 Mental Health matters every day and not just on October 10th! We were all so grateful for the session and would love to hear some of your coping mechanisms/what works for you! 👀 #WorldMentalHealthDay

🌍 As we celebrate Earth Day 2024, we are delighted to announce that Scout have partnered with Greenny for the next 12 months, to help accelerate our CO2 footprint reduction! 🌿 Using their mobile app and marketplace, Greenny offers an innovative approach to help companies like ours offset our carbon emissions, promote biodiversity and strengthen employee commitment to company values! 🤝 📲 After onboarding, we were set up on the app with each of us having a personal dashboard, a team leaderboard (our Houses of Scout teams, of course) and an overall Scout Insights page, to see, in real time, our contributions to the planet! By placing gamification at the core of the platform, Greenny will: 🪙 Allow us to exchange 1x Greenny coin, per 50,000 steps, for a donation to one of their selected charities in their marketplace (The Ocean CleanUp, Red Cross, WWF, UNICEF or Greenpeace) AND... 🌳 Plant 1x tree, with their partner Ecotree, for every 200,000 steps!! Having planted 21 trees so far, we are super excited about this partnership over the coming months, and hope by changing our behaviours and moving more (like walking, running or cycling) we will be able to make a measurable impact on the environment 💚 You can see our current stats below! 👇
