Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust is joining forces with Lancashire Mind and wider partners to deliver the annual Workplace Wellbeing Conference in Lancashire.

The Trust is working in partnership with Lancashire Mind to support local employers to improve the health, wellbeing and performance of their workforce.

The ‘Time to Talk about Wellbeing at Work’ event is now in its second year and will bring together employers from across the county to share best practice, and raise the profile and benefits of workplace wellbeing.

The event will focus on simple and practical steps employers can take no matter their size or resource and include a range of activities including employer talks, interactive workshops, a wellbeing marketplace and lots more.

The Trust alongside other employers, will be sharing their experiences of achieving wellbeing at work by delivering ‘Making Conversations Count’ talk, to offer learning for other organisations to translate into their own workplace. The Trust will also be holding a stall showcasing a variety of health and wellbeing services within the marketplace.

Joanne Smith, Health and Wellbeing lead at Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust said: “We are extremely pleased to support and attend the second Workplace Wellbeing Conference for Lancashire. We look forward to be working alongside Lancashire Mind to be celebrating and showcasing our own commitment to workplace health and wellbeing and engaging with other businesses and organisations across Lancashire.

"We will also be running a Making Conversations Count workshop and our teams will be in the market place providing lots of useful information about our services!”

Added Tommy McIlravey, CEO of Lancashire Mind: "Workplaces ard beginning to realise the competitive edge that looking after staff wellbeing gives them. It is not just about reducing days off sick. While that's clearly important, good mental health helps employees have the confidence to share ideas, become better team mates and more productive in the workplace."

The event will be held on 7 February at The Preston Marriott; for more information or delegate registration please visit www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/time-to-talk-about-wellbeing-at-work-2019-conference-tickets-48198859085
