In the meantime, colleagues at Loughborough University are invited to attend two online events related to health and wellbeing.
These have been initiated by the University’s Occupational Health and Wellbeing team and will be led by external providers who Loughborough is in partnership with.
Sarah Van-Zoelen, Occupational Health and Wellbeing Manager commented: “Here at Loughborough, staff wellbeing is of the utmost importance. A healthy and happy workforce means a more successful workforce, and we want staff members to enjoy working at our institution.
“The upcoming workshops aim to support you on your wellbeing journey. We are formulating a programme of wellbeing events which will be held both virtually and in-person over the coming year when it is safe for us all to come together.”
