Let's take a moment to reflect on how we can support each other in the workplace. Our Process Innovation Manager, Nuno Formiga, spoke recently about the phrase: "How can I help?" This simple question can transform our team by fostering a culture of support and collaboration. By regularly asking our colleagues how we can assist them, we can tackle problems more efficiently, address unmet needs together, and build stronger bonds. A small reminder that selfcare is crucial for maintaining our well-being and effectiveness at work. Take a moment today to reflect on your needs, and don’t hesitate to support your colleagues in doing the same. Together, we can create a workplace environment where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered. Try asking "How can I help?" in your next meeting or when you see a colleague who’s struggling. - Nuno Formiga How do you think you can help yourself and others? #SelfcareDay #TeamSupport #WorkplaceWellbeing #EssentialTogether #InternationalSelfcareDay
