Cultivating wellbeing through connection & accredited mental health training
Cultivating wellbeing through connection & accredited mental health training
At Equans Sci-Tech, we believe that learning and wellbeing are inseparable components of a thriving workplace. From 12th to 16th May 2025, we celebrated Learning at Work Week and Mental Health Awareness Week under the unified theme of "Building Connections". Across our UK sites, we brought colleagues together to support one another in meaningful, lasting ways.
Introducing QNUK Level 2 Mental Health Training
As part of our commitment to workplace wellbeing, we are proud to launch the QNUK Level 2 Award in Mental Health Training. Replacing the previous Mental Health First Aider course, this accredited programme empowers our team members to:
- Recognise early signs of mental health challenges in themselves and others.
- Offer appropriate, practical support to colleagues when it is needed most.
- Reduce stigma by promoting open, honest conversations across the business.
With 1 in 4 UK adults experiencing mental health issues, this investment is a vital step in our mission to foster an inclusive and resilient culture of care.
Strengthening bonds: coffee, conversation & origami
Connection doesn't always require a formal meeting invite. Throughout the week, our teams took time to pause and engage in informal gatherings featuring coffee, pastries, and even origami. These shared moments allow us to strengthen relationships and boost our workplace culture outside of daily tasks.
Whether through accredited training or a simple chat over coffee, we’re building an environment where everyone can thrive personally and professionally.
