This #NAW2022 is particularly poignant this year as it will be my last on leading the Cisco UK Apprenticeship programme. It has been a privilege and pleasure to see the apprentices grow and build their career currency. I will be watching with pride from afar.

[Helen Douglas @HelenCisco]

It’s #NationalApprenticeshipWeek! I’m particularly proud of the Cisco Apprentices for their resilience, hard work and positive attitude whilst working and studying remotely. Facing challenges head-on and seeing opportunities in every situation: that’s the true @Cisco spirit!

Every 45 minutes, a person in the UK dies from #breastcancer. That's over 11,500 women and men per year. But if caught early, like with my mum, the survival rate is 99%. #WearItPink, raise awareness, donate:

Thank you, @wendymarscisco, for sharing some great advice with our Exemplar #Apprentices earlier today! Always trying to be your best self can be a lot of pressure, so it’s vital we know our value, have each other’s back and make the most of every opportunity that comes our way.

I’m privileged to work for a company that allows us to be open about when life gets challenging and helps us to make it manageable. #mentalhealth #WeAreCisco #LoveWhereYouWork

[Helen Douglas @HelenCisco]

Let’s talk #mentalhealth, and not just on #WorldMentalHealthDay, but every day. Together we can break the stigma and provide those in need with understanding and support. #MentalHealthMatters

[Alistair Wildman @alistairwildman]

The #pandemic has made it an imperative to have an open conversation about #mentalhealth. With so many people affected, it’s crucial to foster a work environment where people can bring their whole selves: their strengths and struggles. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters

[Helen Douglas @HelenCisco]
