Wellbeing, Resilience & Reflection webinar launched for all Vale of Glamorgan Council staff

10 January 2022

As we approach the end of 2021 and the anniversary of the height of the pandemic the Council is launching a Wellbeing, Resilience and Reflection Webinar to give everyone the chance to take a break and take stock of what they have been through.

The webinar, hosted by Dr Coral Harper, has been designed to help support staff by teaching coping mechanisms and sharing the best of the wealth of guidance that is available online. It is also available to all elected members.

The bespoke webinar has been produced just for the Vale of Glamorgan Council and is designed to help us all understand the impact of the pandemic on our lives and offer practical guidance on how to look after ourselves and our friends and colleagues as we enter another challenging winter.

In an email to all staff launching the webinar Rob Thomas, Managing Director, said: “Much has been said since March 2020 about the need for us all to take the time to stop and reflect on how the pandemic and the changes it brought to our lives and work has affected us.

“The last 18 months will have impacted on us all in different ways. Many of our staff will have seen drastic changes in their work, others will have had to adapt to new ways of living outside of work. It will have impacted on some people financially. Others will have very legitimate worries about what readjusting to a post-Covid world.

“Whatever our individual circumstances, whether we are frontline staff, manager, or members, we have all come through an anxious and stressful time.”

The Wellbeing, Resilience and Reflection Webinar is available to all staff and elected members until 30 September 2022.

The Wellbeing, Resilience and Reflection Webinar is just one of the ways our Human Resources team are working to support colleagues. Again, all of these resources are available to councillors. For more information about our various wellbeing initiatives visit the wellbeing hub on StaffNet+.
