MEMBER ZONE WELLBEING WEEK


As a Chamber we champion the people who are behind the businesses we represent, and we understand the enormity of the changes 2020 has brought. Workplaces have changed, jobs have been altered, lifestyles are different – all without warning or choice. Looking after ourselves and our colleagues is vital, which is why we are excited to be hosting WELLBEING WEEK, 23 – 27 November. Offered virtually, Wellbeing Week seeks to address the varying aspects of everyday life that impact a person’s happiness and motivation. Proudly sponsored by Silver Chamber Business Partners HR Solutions, sessions are free to join.
