2Macs will deliver this highly interactive CPD Event.

Ever sat through the presentation of H&S priorities or the launch of this year’s action plans and thought “are we ever going to get to the bit about Health or are we just going to talk about Safety?”

This drama based event is aimed at all levels of the workforce who may have to manage stress and mental wellbeing in themselves or others.

It is all too easy to neglect the H in HSE, particularly when that H relates to people’s mental wellbeing. The scars of mental health are hidden but the consequences are all too visible. It is a harsh fact, however, that stress and stress related absenteeism costs the UK 11.7 million lost work days per year and an estimated £6 – £7 billon.

Compare this to the 4.5 million days and £4.8 billion lost to work place injury and it becomes all too apparent why we should be giving far more serious consideration to workplace mental health.

A well workforce is not only more productive, but safer. This is the business case. Health, both mental and physical, however, should not be just a business case, it should be a moral obligation.

Key Topics:

By the end of the programme participants will:

•Recognise the signs and impact of stress in self and others

•Understand the difference between acute and chronic stress

•Explore the stress response chain and how to break it

•Identify support mechanisms to cope with chronic stress

•Through the use of our unique drama techniques develop practical coaching skills to deal effectively with difficult wellbeing conversations

•Using the HSE key indicators of workplace stress as a framework produce a unique organisational stress profile and formulate a plan of action for reducing stress in themselves / others and their working environment

Key Benefits:

The transferable programme benefits are:

•Increased workplace morale

•Improved leading cultural indicators

•The development of coaching skills transferable people management generally

•Greater identification and recording potential wellbeing issues providing quality information in order to drive positive change

This course is designed to provide easy to use practical tools that can be put into use every day to help both self and others create an environment conducive to mental wellbeing.

Most of the new buildings are now taking shape on site and the team is well underway with the internal works on some blocks. Your chance to have a look around the next phase ……

What’s happening on site?

The scaffold has now been fully removed on blocks A3 and A4 and starting to put in the furniture and interior fittings.

Works on the external hard landscaping is now commencing on the courtyards near A3 and A4. Hard landscaping is the term used to describe the construction materials that help to shape a landscape such as paving, gravel, timber, stone etc.

The dry lining works and internal fit out, including furniture installation, is ongoing in blocks A1 and A2. Dry lining is a system for cladding the internal faces of buildings, such as walls and ceilings. Plasterboard is attached to the internal faces, creating a smooth surface that finishes such as paint can be applied to directly, a ‘wet’ plaster finish is not required

The steelwork for the new John Snow College heart building has commenced. This is located between blocks A1 and A2. The heart building for each college will house college facilities and administration services.

On the University Hub building the works on the external façade are now nearing completion. The team is continuing with final fix mechanical (M&E) works and the final floor and ceiling finishes are being installed.

On the new South College the cluster flat blocks B3, B4 and B5 are progressing well. Work is continuing on the pre-cast concrete system that makes up the cluster flats. The new buildings are being constructed using precast insulated architectural finished sandwich panels which make up the external walls. These are made off-site and then fit together on site, almost like a large scale version of flat pack furniture!

In the new South College townhouses, B1 and B2, we are now at fit out stage and are starting to install the new furniture which includes beds, wardrobes, desks and cupboards in the bedrooms.

The heart building for the new South College is starting to take shape. The steelwork and roof is now in place and work on the steel framing system (SFS), which makes up the walls of the building, is ongoing.

Installation of the mains services around the site is continuing.
