Peer Learning Forum: Wellbeing for Field-Based Roles

This is an in-person event.

Audience

Attendance is by invitation only. This event is for Business in the Community (BITC) members with advisory days in wellbeing, and has been designed to benefit health and wellbeing, inclusion and HR practitioners.

The aims and objectives of the event

This event aims to support health and wellbeing and inclusion practitioners in understanding the wellbeing challenges specifically faced by colleagues in field-based roles and how to take action, recognising they are:

• Harder to reach via internal communications, line manager support and peer connection/ collaboration.
• Less likely to have non-scheduled time to access support services and resources within an online wellbeing hub.
• Likely to work alone in time managed, pressurised environments.
• Less likely to access flexible work with capacity to co-design good work.

This event will build on insights shared in BITC’s and the McKinsey Report ‘Prioritise People; Unlock the Value of a Thriving Workforce’ with guest speaker, Allyson Savage, Head of Occupational Health and Wellbeing for Northern Gas Networks.
