"There's two answers to the meaning of life: Other people, and purpose." @MaffPotts closing today's event with his grounding reminder of why we are all here
@LordMarkPrice 6 factors drive discretionary effort. Recognition is crucial. Employees are criticised 2x a week but thanked once every 4.5 months.@Tomorrows_co#mentalhealth
@Rob_InsideOut gets audience to score out of 10 their current mental state. Madeleine Evans CEO Levell says ?15% of employees in danger of burnout. #mentalhealth@Tomorrows_co
@ScarlettEBrown calls for businesses to be more discriminating as to which mental health issues they are dealing with. Stress;internal politics; lack of opportunities to open up; toxic working environment. @Tomorrows_co
Huge appetite among organisations to tackle issues. Mental Health First Aid is widespread but how much difference is it making? An employee’s relationship with their boss is central:manager training and awareness is vital.@Tomorrows_co
@Tomorrows_co mental health beyond awareness report launch with Chairman of MIND. @SOMNews has examined how #occupational#health practitioners and providers can add value to #workplace#wellbeing initiatives -see https://t.co/j18ZIcdY3G. @paulfarmermind
@steviespring1 Chair of Mind says 1/4 people face mental health issues every year. Employee engagement vital. Most important survey question is ‘how do you feel about work’. @Tomorrows_co

60% of low paid workers are women, if we want real financial inclusion this needs to change.
@andrewtghill@Tomorrows_co@NPickavance Budgets are being cut for employee welfare activities yet CSR in public is on a high. It’s time to wake up and set the internal things right by focusing on their well being as only that will be instrumental in helping them remain energized ...https://t.co/Jcdy3urcjw
Saker Nussebeih: we can show you that companies that pay employees more than minimum wage will earn a better return for shareholders. Same for companies that pay suppliers on time #stewardship@Tomorrows_co#financialinclusion
Saker Nussebeih of @Hermesinvest explains fund management is about #stewardship. We-the citizens-own the shares. The same people who work in the companies. Separating shareholders into separate compartments from customers, employees and communities is nonsense. @Tomorrows_co
