Time to Change

People Matter Charter

We are committed members of the PEOPLE MATTER Charter. We want to show demonstrable standards in how to treat people responsibly.We’re proud to be growing our business with conscience.

Stay
Connected

Connecting with people around us is a great way to remind ourselves that we are important and valued by others. Social relationships help us to build a sense of belonging and self-worth and give us an opportunity to share our experiences, to provide emotional support and allow us to support others.

Stay
Active
Exercising makes us feel good. The positive change in our mood is caused by the chemical changes in our brain. Regular physical activity can increase our self-esteem and reduce anxiety and stress. It also improves focus, performance, sleep, and our energy levels.
Give

Seeing yourself and your happiness linked to the wider community can be incredibly rewarding and will create connections with the people around you. Committing to an act of kindness will give you a feeling of purpose and self-worth. Do something nice for a friend, thank someone, smile, or volunteer your time.

Keep
Learning

Continued learning through life enhances self-confidence, self-esteem and encourages social interaction and a more active life. Learning new things will help you to build a sense of purpose. Don’t be afraid to try new things, rediscover an old hobby or take a different responsibility. Fix a bike, play an instrument, or just cook something new. Set challenges you will enjoy.

Take notice

Taking notice of our thoughts, emotions, and surroundings is a great way to stay present and pay attention to our needs. Reflecting on our experiences will help us appreciate what matters to us. This is called mindfulness and it enhances our self-understanding and allows us to make positive choices based on our own values and motivations.

Guest Blog…A special kind of giving

Guest Blog…A special kind of giving Many businesses enjoy giving at Christmas time. To their clients, their customers and to their colleagues. At my clients DDC Engineering Solutions there has been much discussion about whether or not they would participate in the Secret Santa gift giving this year. I have to admit, I enjoy hunting around for a fun present on a limited budget but for some, it causes nothing…

Wellbeing…How to thrive at work?

CIPD 2018 Health and Wellbeing report has identified that more than 60% of companies in the UK don’t have a stand-alone wellbeing strategy even though there is evidence that a Wellbeing and Health strategy increases employee morale and engagement and lower sickness absence.
