World Wellbeing Week – Recharge Booth at 2pm today

June 25, 2020

This week marks World Wellbeing Week which is now in its second year and is a fantastic opportunity for us to consider our own health and wellbeing and make the most of the Trust’s wide range of wellbeing activities and resources. We have always had a strong wellbeing offer for colleagues and during this pandemic, the wellbeing support has been expanded even more. Do take the time to look at the resources on offer as highlighted on Connect.

Today we highlight the Recharge Booth.

The Recharge Booth is a ‘virtual’ space that allows you to come together with others, reflect, recharge, decompress, and join a safe and confidential discussion. Hosted by Richard Burnell, it runs every Thursday at 2pm, sharing stories from different colleagues over a 20-30 minute session.

This week the Recharge Booth will focus on the following story:

“I’m angry about the way that I was treated during Covid-19. I feel like I was given almost no notice that my role was going to change and that when it did change it was chaotic and often I was treated like a nuisance when I went to work somewhere else.

“We need to learn lessons about how we treated displaced colleagues and how managers make sure that they create a culture where staff who are sent to support them are looked after.”

For more information please contact Richard Burnell on 07747 144874 or Claire Hubbard on 07866 004575.  Alternatively if you would like to be part of the Recharge Booth, drop an email to  swbh.rechargebooth@nhs.net. A WebEx invite will be sent to your outlook diary, and you will simply need to click on the ‘join’ button to enter.
