The wellness industry has long been on the rise and continues to grow in popularity, with more people incorporating practices like Mindfulness, exercise and connecting with nature into their daily routines and personal lives.

More recently, the effects of the global coronavirus pandemic, several country-wide lockdowns and less time spent socialising have further contributed to the rise of wellness, with more people making a conscious effort focusing on their wellbeing as a priority.

So, how does this translate to the workplace? And what could you do to improve and support employee wellbeing in your own organisation?

This week mark’s anti-bullying week in the UK and while we tend to think bullying might take place predominantly at schools and amongst young people, the workplace is also a common environment to experience unfair treatment.

A survey conducted by SME Loans in 2019 found that 23% of British workers had been bullied at work, and a further 12% admitted to struggling to make friends in the workplace. In light of these statistics, it’s important to not only be able to identify what constitutes workplace bullying but also what to do if you’re experiencing it, and how to help others.
