Six INCLUSIVE team socials we 💛 at Zing 👇 After work socials aren’t inclusive. Anyone with chronic conditions, childcare obligations, and any form of personal and social life will need to make significant compromises. When you take a trip to the pub, another layer of exclusivity is created. We’ve found lunchtime and daytime social events much better for the team so everyone can get involved! 1. Lunchtime Networking Food is always a winner. Going out to eat together in a non-pressured environment or finding a local networking event within the working day will always be my first choice over post-work drinks. 2. Walking Meetings It is a great excuse for the manager to take the team out, get to know everyone and get outdoors, and we find it really useful! 3. Training Sessions Guest speakers, jumping on webinars together, and learning together is a great bonding experience! 4. Lunch & Learn Take the upskilling into your own hands! Cross-collaboration is super important for cohesive team workflows. 5. Virtual Events This means anyone working remote or hybrid can join in too. Quizzes, trivia, household scavenger hunt, guess who, cooking lessons - there are so many options! 6. Creative Breaks Why not gather together and work on personal passion projects? You can learn so much from each other this way and get time to focus on something truly important to you. We’d love some more ideas for inclusive socials! What kind of events have you run or been part of we should book next? #Team #Culture #Socials

Now the main Christmas festivities are over and we're mouching around in 'the days that all roll into each other', it's an ideal time for reflection and planning your new goals for 2024. I hope one of your goals will be to invest in your own health and well-being. When we get back into the daily madness of school runs, work routines etc we could overlook ourselves again! Planning into your calendars now will help you to see your well-being as part of your routine, and not as an afterthought. It may be having 'alone time' to help you set time aside to do the things that you enjoy. It may be take up that hobby you've been thinking about, or that course that you're longing to do...but you keep putting it off! If you're an employer, consider how you can invest more into your teams health and well-being, and what you can do differently for them in 2024. Here at PeoplePlus we have a wide selection of topics in our 'Wellbeing Collection', as well as our AEB fundable qualification on Physical health and mental wellbeing. We also have a fantastic course for unpaid carers called 'Be Empowered'. This is suitable for any individual in a supporting others role and has a module designed especially for managers/team leaders. Whether it's online delivery you'd like or enjoy learning independently, our e-learning platform 'LearningPlus' has over 400 courses that you can access 24/7 on an array of subjects. Take a look on our website (PeoplePlus 'youcan' and also LearningPlus) to see what we have on offer. I'm back to work on 2nd Jan, so do email me on youcan@peopleplus.co.uk so that Olivia and I can discuss these courses further with you. Wishing you all a great rest of the week, and a happy and safe New Year 🎊 #mentalhealthmatters #selfcare #selfimprovement #courses #LearningPlus #youcan #staffdevelopment #investinyourself #investinginyourfuture #investinpeople

🎉 🎊 Happy 2024 everyone!!! 🎉 🎊 Here in Australia, things really slow down for the last week of December and first week of January. A good number of companies in my industry fully shut down for a 2 week break. I decided to follow suit and allow myself to unplug, and enjoy a few weeks off while most folks are away. I successfully made it through a week and half before jumping back onto LinkedIn. 😆 😆 Unplugging is different from a vacation/holiday. Unplugging is more akin to staycation. Even better, it's like Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It's about making each day into what you want it to be and allowing yourself to enjoy each moment. It can be a spontaneous road trip or it can be lounging in bed and reading a whole book in one day. The choice is yours to enjoy guilt-free. Unplugging allows me to turn off all the "noise" of the daily work/life balance grind. It offers a chance to recharge. It allows for self-improvement. I found that it also results in a clearer thought process about my career/business focus. I'm not talking about business strategizing, as that defeats the purpose of this type of unplugging. It's more personal than that. It's about discovering my vision for my career/business path for the coming year and understanding my creative and financial value/worth. When I plug back in, the focus will be on strategy for that vision. I have lots of interesting topics on my list for LinkedIn posts for 2024. Look forward to sharing it with all of you. Thanks to everyone who's engaged with my 2023 posts. It's nice to know people are reading and reacting. It's even better when you're engaging via comments and I can hear what you have to say. Wishing all of you a prosperous year!!! #unplug #selfcare #selfawarenessjourney #selfimprovement #enjoylife #enjoythejourney

After taking some much-needed time away this summer, I'm back, albeit not quite as "rested" as the word "break" might imply. With two kids, a heatwave and a world that doesn't pause, who can truly rest, right? But what I lack in physical relaxation, I made up for in thinking time, renewed focus and a feeling of gratitude too. Truth time - family time is a mixed bag! When juggling work, childcare, and trying to maintain some semblance of self-care, the words "time off" take on an entirely new meaning. It's a mixed bag of beautiful moments and a fair share of chaos, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. And I owe a massive shoutout to my incredible colleagues and my phenomenal business partner Debbie Caswell. Thank you for holding down the fort - favour will be repaid in a few weeks! Being away has given me plenty time to ponder what I am aiming to accomplish here on LinkedIn. Talking about marketing is a given (just try and stop me), but what about my personal brand? Is that what we're still calling it?! What is it that I want to talk about, and what would you, my audience, find valuable and interesting? Pondering on that is one of the reasons I haven't dived straight back in. Having been an early adopter on here, I've watched it change so significantly over time and I think we can all agree it has its downsides as well as its positives. I'd love to hear your thoughts. What do you find most interesting or beneficial to explore on here? Or is it now just a mindless scroll and avoiding the obvious? I'm back, I'm excited, and I'm open to doing more on here - but that might take me a while to work out, so bear with me. Pic is of my boys with the obligatory Madrid toro! #BackFromBreak #WorkLifeBalance #PersonalBrand #CommunityInput #EngagementMatters Looking forward to catching up and diving into some amazing conversations!

🌍✨ Celebrate the Global Day of Unplugging 2024! ✨🌍 When? March 1-2, from sundown to sundown 🌅 Since its inception in 2009, the Global Day of Unplugging has been a cherished annual tradition, reminding us of the beauty and importance of disconnecting from our digital lives to reconnect with the world around us. This year, join us in embracing the spirit of this day, whether it be for an hour or a full 24 hours, during the first weekend of March. It's a time to step away from our screens and engage in offline activities, in-person interactions, real-life gatherings, or simply have meaningful conversations about our relationship with technology. Here are some ways YOU can be the change you wish to see in the world: 1. Host a Digital Detox: Invite friends and family for a tech-free dinner party. Enjoy the company, the conversation, and the undivided attention of your loved ones. 2. Connect with Nature: Take a hike, visit a park, or simply take a walk in your neighborhood. Observe the beauty around you without the urge to capture it through a screen. 3. Read a Book: Remember the feel of actual pages? Pick up a book you've been meaning to read and dive into the story, uninterrupted. 4. Pursue a Hobby: Dust off that guitar, paintbrush, or knitting needles. Spend time doing what you love, creating something beautiful with your hands and heart. 5. Reflect and Journal: Use this time to reflect on your relationship with technology. How does it impact your daily life? What changes can you make for a healthier digital balance? 6. Volunteer: Give your time to a local charity or community project. The joy of helping others is a rewarding experience that requires no online presence. 7. Play Games: Board games, card games, sports – choose activities that encourage laughter and teamwork, building memories that last a lifetime. 🔌 Disconnect to Reconnect 🔌 This Global Day of Unplugging, let's make a collective effort to pause, breathe, and appreciate the world and the people around us. It's a day to remember that life's most beautiful moments often happen off-screen. Share how you're unplugging and inspire others with your stories! Use the hashtag #Unplug2024 to connect with a global community committed to making a positive change. Let's be the change we want to see in the digital age. 🌟 Happy Unplugging! 🌟
