Our trusted partners, SanaMente, share their support for Blue Monday

Towards the end of 2023 we launched our partnership with the inspiring team at 'Strive with SanaMente'.


Strive is a proactive, evidence-based approach to employee wellbeing. It focuses on enhancing mental fitness for a happier, healthier, and more productive workforce.


With Blue Monday upon us, we thought who better than the team at SanaMente to offer clear, achievable tips on how to approach the people around you during what can be a very tricky time for many.


Here are SanaMente's helpful ideas that you can try, to help lift the spirits of your employees this Blue Monday:


- Start with Positivity: Share uplifting messages, achievements, or exciting plans for the week to set a positive tone.


- Remote Team Bonding: For virtual teams, plan a fun online activity or virtual coffee break to encourage camaraderie.


- Encourage Breaks: Remind staff to take short breaks, stretch, or go for a walk to recharge throughout the day.


- Create a Comfortable Workspace: Promote a calming work environment with personalised touches to boost morale.


- Mood-Boosting Playlist: Share a collaborative playlist for everyone to add their favourite tunes and create a feel-good atmosphere.


- Learning Opportunities: Provide access to wellness resources, workshops, or activities to support personal growth. Why not explore our Platinum Employer Package in partnership with Strive with SanaMente?


Remember, small gestures can go a long way. As a business owner or even as a colleague, it can be difficult to know what to do when staff are struggling but let's try and turn Blue Monday into a day of connection and positivity!
