Betknowmore UK

Last week some of our Wellbeing Champions at Omexom UK. Omexom Ireland and Kelvin Power Member of VINCI Energies got together to discuss how we continue to grow our culture of support in our business. We invited speakers from THIS CAN HAPPEN, Betknowmore UK and The Electrical Industries Charity to talk about a range of subjects including Stress, Anxiety and Gambling addiction. It was an emotional but enlightening day. Each of us (like everyone) has their own personal challenges and the support we can give each other and the wider team is so important. Huge thanks to everyone for their continued work and support in bringing Wellbeing to the front and centre of our Community and Culture.
