  • Dains Well-being Challenge 2024! 🎉 Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay🌍💚 A day dedicated to raising awareness and taking action for mental health around the world. This year's theme is about prioritising mental health in the workplace, recognising that supporting well-being is essential for creating a resilient and thriving environment. For us at Dains, this day serves as a reminder that well-being isn’t just something we acknowledge once a year—it’s a commitment we strive to uphold every day. To mark the occasion, we’re excited to launch the Dains Well-being Challenge 2024! 🎉 This 8-week initiative goes beyond just being active; it’s about coming together and truly living our value of "Working and Succeeding Together." Starting today, our teams across the Dains Group in the UK and Ireland will be participating in a virtual "Race Across the World," encouraging everyone to get involved in activities like walking, baking, learning new skills, and more. At Dains we prioritise well-being, not just for today but every day. Keep an eye on our socials over the coming weeks to see what our team has been up to whilst prioritising their well-being. #DainsWellbeingChallenge #MentalHealthMatters #WorkingTogether #EmployeeWellbeing #RaceAcrossTheWorld

  • 💚 At Dains, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. As an employer, we’re committed to creating a supportive workplace where well-being is prioritised every day. It's not just about recognising #WorldMentalHealthDay; it's about taking meaningful steps all year round to support our team's mental and emotional health. Our approach includes a variety of initiatives and resources designed to help employees maintain a healthy work-life balance and access the support they need. These include: * Webinars on mental health topics such as stress management and men's mental health. * Access to the Cycle to Work scheme, virtual GP appointments, and discounted gym memberships. * Ongoing support through our Wellbeing Centre, which features mindfulness videos, mental health first aiders, and links to useful websites and charities. * Practical resources like articles on well-being and opportunities to learn new skills. We understand that supporting mental health is an ongoing journey, and we’re dedicated to making a positive difference every day. Together, let's continue building a culture where well-being matters. 🌱 🌟 WATCH THIS SPACE - Later today we will be launching our own challenge to encourage our employees to prioritise their well-being. Stay tuned for updates and let the challenge begin!🌟 #MentalHealthMatters #EmployeeWellbeing #DainsCare #WorkingTogether #SupportAndThrive
