As we head into 2024, we want our employees to return feeling refreshed and ready to take on the new year. This is all part of our goal to ensure everyone is smacked – (Safe & Secure, Motivated, Appreciated, Challenged and Knowledgeable). By achieving these, we hope to continue to create a happy work environment and encourage individual growth.

This starts with feeling good on the inside. New Year’s resolutions are a great example of a starting point. Many choose to focus on improving health, maybe diving into a new hobby, or achieving a personal goal. To help kick start these objectives, Stiltz provides every member of staff with access to the BHSF app which contains great deals and discounts for days out, gym memberships and more.

As well as physical health, the app also contains resources for keeping on top of mental health and further guidance such as GP services, confidential support and a well-being check.

Returning from the festive break and entering a new year can bring uncertainty and worries, which is why it’s more important than ever to try to find pockets of positivity each day. Start with the little things like getting up earlier to go for a walk or swim and reaching out to help each other. Small acts of kindness can go a long way in brightening someone’s day. It’s also important to remember that making mistakes is ok and it’s what we learn from them that makes us stronger and wiser. Most importantly, celebrate every win, no matter how small.
