Ways of Working guide

Peer-led activites You don’t need permission to start peer-led activities. All you need to do is promote how colleagues can get involved on our Stay Connected Teams channel. We encourage you to organise activities such as: – Weekly walk and talk sessions with your teams or other colleagues – Cross-team social activities online or in person, e.g. mindful colouring, knitting, craft-a-noon, book club Current activities include meditation and mindfulness sessions, and MHFA Radio. If you’d like to volunteer as a guest DJ for an MHFA Radio session, please speak to Sarah McIntosh.

The role of the Team Lead Heads of Department and Team Leads should be having continual and supportive conversations about wellbeing, motivation, and delivery. You may want to create a Wellbeing Charter as a team with specific activities to support your wellbeing.

Delayed emails We all have flexibility in the way we work, but should not be working outside of our usual work hours. Please be mindful when sending emails outside working hours. Consider delaying your email messages if you are sending them out of hours. This can done in Outlook via ‘Options’ – ‘Delivery Options’ – ‘Do not deliver before’.

Teams status Use your Microsoft Teams status to let people know if you are up for a coffee or a chat.
