It’s Blue Monday!💙 Try to make this Monday OK, check in on your colleagues and make sure their day is going as well as it can. If you feel or notice a colleague struggling why not try some of these ideas to raise a smile or distract them from Blue Monday: - Encourage colleagues to take lunch and breaks, encourage a healthy diet - good for general health, push regular breaks and eat in regular intervals which will help combat stress and depression. - Recognising good work, staff members can often feel demotivated - especially if they're feeling overworked and feel unnoticed. Say Thank you for all their hard work. It’s important to watch out for your work colleagues, especially on a day like today. #Rollits #BlueMonday #TeamRollits #EmploymentLaw

Whilst the third Monday of January has been known by some as the most difficult day of the year, Samaritans remind us that there is no such thing as ‘Blue Monday’. Individuals can experience good or bad days for differing reasons, they’re not to be decided by the calendar. Brew Monday encourages us to forget about ‘Blue Monday’, and instead start a conversation over a brew, whether it be with family, friends or colleagues. From a workplace perspective, we suggest using this day to take some time away from your regular work activities and sit down with your colleagues to have a chat. This helps foster an open and caring work environment for employees to feel comfortable and considered. #HRSupportLeeds

🌤️ Blue Monday: Turning the Blues into Positivity 🌟 Blue Monday, often called the “saddest day of the year,” falls on the third Monday of January. It’s a term coined to describe the post-holiday slump, short days, and financial stress that many feel this time of year. But it’s also an opportunity to flip the narrative and focus on promoting wellbeing and positivity. 💬💡 Last Friday, two of Equans UK & Ireland employee led networks Encompass and YPN joined forces to host a Blue Monday special session called “Spill the Banter.” It was an engaging and meaningful session focused on fostering a positive wellbeing culture here at Equans UK & Ireland 🌈 The turnout was fantastic, and it was amazing to see so many of you sharing insights, experiences, and plenty of laughs! We explored how small actions—like sharing stories, having open conversations, or simply showing kindness—can have a big impact on mental health and workplace morale. 💙 Let’s keep this energy alive beyond Blue Monday. Every day is an opportunity to check in with each other, support one another, and make Equans a place where positivity thrives. A huge thank you to Amie-Rose Hattley and Kimberley Roberts for arranging the session 😃 What are your go-to strategies for boosting your wellbeing during challenging times? Share your tips below! 👇 Mine usually involves exercise whether it is a CrossFit session or a walk down the beach with my 2 amazing pugs! #BlueMonday #WellbeingCulture #MentalHealthAwareness #Equans #Collaboration #PositiveMindset #proudtomakeitreal #beyourself #employeelednetworks #encompass #youngprofessionals

Today is Brew Monday, an initiative that reminds us how powerful a simple cup of tea or coffee and a meaningful chat can be. Originally created to challenge the idea of "Blue Monday," this day encourages us to focus on connection, kindness, and checking in on one another. In our busy work lives, it’s easy to prioritise deadlines over downtime, but taking a few minutes to talk to a colleague, team member, or friend can make all the difference. These small moments of connection: * Help reduce stress and boost mental wellbeing. * Build stronger relationships and a supportive workplace. * Show that we care about the people around us. Why not use Brew Monday as a chance to pause and connect? Whether it’s over a cup of tea in the breakroom, a virtual coffee chat, or just a quick check-in. Let’s start the conversation and make this Monday a little brighter, one cup at a time. #BrewMonday #MentalHealthMatters #WorkplaceWellbeing #Connection #MentalHealthFirstAider #SamaritansBrewMonday

Do you feel the same energy when waking up on a Saturday or Monday morning?   Or is it an energized YEAH on Saturdays and on Mondays you would like to turn over in your bed and stay lying there feeling paralyzed with stomach ache?   On Monday mornings are you afraid of the never-ending energy-draining workplace challenges such as the recurring conflict with your manager, coworker, or team member or the feeling of not communicating professionally?   If you are curious about how I help my clients get their energy levels up on Monday mornings and look forward to their work by overcoming their challenges, DM me or send me an email to info@corinnafreitag.de, and I’ll share how I can help.   #OvercomeWorkplaceChallenges #MentalToughness

Blue Monday   Let’s Turn Blue Monday into Bright Monday! 🌟   Blue Monday, often known as the most depressing day of the year may be just a concept, but it’s also an important reminder to check in on our teams' wellbeing. 💙   Whether it’s the darker mornings, the cold weather, or the post-holiday blues, this time of year can weigh on many of us. As leaders, it’s our responsibility to uplift and support employees so they can thrive even on the gloomiest of days.   Here are 5 actionable steps you could take to support your team:   1.       Promote Wellbeing: Encourage breaks, walks in the fresh air, or provide access to well-being resources. 2.       Open Conversations: Let your employees know they can talk about how they’re feeling – sometimes, simply being heard makes a difference. 3.       Small Acts of Kindness: Surprise your team with cakes or pastries (after all who doesn’t like those!) or even an email by way of appreciation 4.       Team Bonding: Host a fun, light-hearted activity such as a quiz or shared lunch to lift spirits 5.       Flexible Working: If possible, offer flexibility in work arrangements to help employees start their week more positively.   Blue Monday can be an opportunity for kindness, connection, and fostering a supportive workplace. Let’s create an environment where every day feels like a great day to come to work. 🌊   👉 What’s one way you’ll show support to your team today? Let me know in the comments!
