Good afternoon everyone!
Happy happy Friday – I hope you all got through Blue Monday relatively unscathed, however for those of you who have found this week a bit longer that usual, don’t forget to take some time to think about you.
New Engagement Video
HR found out about our shortlisting for the UK Employee Engagement Awards and asked if they could film someone talking about our Finance Journey to share on our recruitment social media sites, and Emma kindly volunteered! The video has been shared on Twitter today – if you want to watch it please click here. (you will need to watch it in Google Chrome)
The awards ceremony is next Thursday, with 10 of us going along to represent Finance on the night. They are Philip Severs, Robert Dewar, Simon Taylor, Matt Parkin, Vanessa Chettleburgh, Anna Gunn, Gemma Lancaster, Andrew Fleming, Grazina Manchester and Karen Marsden.
Give it Up
As pay day finally reached us this week – the Charity Group thought it would be a good time to remind you about the ‘Give it Up’ fundraising initiative. It’s a double whammy of being good – give something up, save a bit of money, and give some to Charity!! You can donate on our JustGiving page.
LICC
LICC has a brand-spanking new website, you can find a link on our homepage – or you can just click here!
Action Plan Update
You may have seen that our 2017 People Engagement Action Plan is now live – and our Finance Leadership Forum members have committed to picking action owners for each one by the end of this month.
For those of you new to Trello – you can subscribe to an action so you will get notified whenever it is updated, another great way to find out what’s happening with something that is important to you.
Mental Health Day – Wellbeing site
You can find a website dedicated to the day on March 2nd, to give you some hints and tips about what we can do in the workplace.
WHIF
Thanks for all your updates for the first WHIF of 2017. It is in the final stages of editing and it will be coming your way next week!
