Endorsed by Business in the Community and Mind, the MHAWC is a set of actions for organisations to follow in order to improve and support the mental health of their people. The latest pledge reinforces the company’s ongoing efforts and initiatives to create a work culture which actively promotes and supports the health and wellbeing of all employees. An action plan is being developed and put in place to build on the company’s existing programmes, with a particular focus on the six standards which underpin the MHAWC. The action plan includes provision of mental health awareness training for all managers; creation of a wellbeing dashboard; and a job structure and organisation design review to understand whether any adjustments are needed to support employees’ wellbeing. www.ricoh.co.uk STX Next acquires Ermlab STX Next has announced the acquisition of Ermlab, a specialist in AI and machine learning software development.

Sat at work daydreaming of a better job, better pay, better boss. It’s the age-old problem. Will the grass really be greener on the other side? Do I stay in my current job because I have job security? Do I risk a move for the chance of something better?. Here are our top 10 warning signs that it may be time for you to take the plunge and explore your options elsewhere: q Sunday night dread – that awful feeling in the pit of your stomach whenever you think of work w Avoiding team building/socialising with colleagues e Lack of progression opportunities r Daydreaming/Procrastinating frequently at work t Getting frustrated with poor Management y No recognition for a job well done u Toxic work culture i Having insufficient tools for the job at hand o Lack of learning or training opportunities 1) Lack of salary reviews/poor benefits If you don’t feel that the issues you’re experiencing can be resolved within your current role then it may well be time to explore new opportunities and reinvigorate a passion for your career. Having a shared vision or goal with your manager or the company you work for, or even just being rewarded for a job well done can make a huge impact on job satisfaction. Being disengaged at work can have a serious impact on your mental health and wellbeing. Ensuring you have a healthy work life balance and positive mental attitude towards work will only happen if it aligns with your career goals and lifestyle demands.
