At Westfield Health we remain committed to supporting your members and their people during this challenging period and are working hard to create resources to help.
We recently shared with you the first guides in our Wellbeing Toolkit, which included Coping with change, Sleep and rest, Breathing techniques for relaxation, and Healthy eating: these guides can all be accessed in our COVID-19 resource centre where you’ll also find a Mental Health Support Bundle to mark Mental Health Awareness Week.
Our latest factsheets are now available:

Key Workers support pack
Whilst many people are working from home, key workers are still in the workplace keeping the country moving. From getting to work with limited public transport to increased health worries, being at work during the COVID-19 outbreak comes with its own unique set of challenges and stresses. We’ve created this support pack your members can share with their key workers to help them look after their personal wellbeing during this difficult time.

Employee wellbeing and the return to work webinar
This week we hosted a live interactive Q&A webinar for almost 150 HR and business professionals where we explored reintegration plans and what these could look like for employers and their people.
Our Head of Coaching, Mark Pinches, led a session on techniques that can be used to support emotional wellbeing, how to manage anxiety, and the impact of the ‘new normal’. Vicky Walker, our Head of People, followed this with a mini panel session with two senior HR professionals from very different work environments, to share their ideas and the approach they’ll be taking to get their people safely back to work. There was also a Q&A session where the delegates had the opportunity to share concerns and ideas.
