As 2021 draws to a close and we look forward to 2022, are you planning any New Years’ resolutions? Are you planning personal challenges? Or will you be setting your business some resolutions?

We’ve been thinking about some great resolutions that could help your business and your employees to create a better workplace. So here are a few suggestions.

Supporting wellbeing

Investing in your employees and looking after their wellbeing can be rewarding for everyone as it can help support individuals in need and can reduce absences. Our mental health qualifications can assist your employees in arming them with the skills they need to identify those in need of support, how to start a conversation and know where to direct them for the support they need. Training a selection of employees in First Aid for Mental Health can help support your workforce and management team in providing a caring and supportive workplace.

Preventative measures

Protecting employees from potential harm is essential so ensuring that you have sufficient employees trained in health and safety as well as risk assessors to make sure your buildings and sites are safe as possible. Keeping employees physically safe is important so ensuring that they know how to handle goods properly is essential and if they may be put in difficult situations training them in conflict management and self-defence is also a good idea.

A course that is probably more poignant now is infection control which is designed to help people in care, medical or regulated environments to reduce the spread of infections.

Knowledge to handle situations

Arming your employees with the knowledge and skill they need to handle all eventualities helps to protect your business and instil confidence in your employees. It also can help you to meet some of your obligations. Training can include first aid, fire safety awareness or manual handling.

Whatever resolutions you are thinking of, we wish you all the best for the festive season and a prosperous New Year!
