- Reconnecting staff to create a sense of team
- Supporting mental (and physical) health and wellbeing
- Attracting and retaining staff- many businesses are addressing this by upskilling staff and/or supporting health & wellbeing
Check out the amazing array of workforce Reconnection products, developed by our Arts & Business NI arts members, designed to help organisations support employee wellbeing and foster a sense of team through creativity. Enjoy!
