A huge thank you to L'Oréal for partnering with us to host the recent "Safety Beyond the Workplace" webinar. Together, we explored how safety doesn't stop when we clock out—it's something we carry into our homes, communities, and beyond. During the session, we heard incredible stories about the impact of L’Oréal's Safe@Work-Safe@Home initiative, which has been rolled out globally to improve safety not only in the workplace but also in everyday life. From empowering parents and children in South Africa to providing life-saving tips to the elderly in India, these programmes are a testament to how organisations can drive real change when they bring their safety culture into the community. If you couldn’t make it to the live session, don’t worry! The recording is now available on demand: https://lnkd.in/eJJjb4hJ #SafetyBeyondTheWorkplace #partnerships #webinar #workplacesafety #healthandsafety

For six months in 2022, 61 UK companies with a total workforce of around 2,900 took part in the world’s largest trial of the four-day working week – an idea that has been talked about for quite a while now but one that not many firms have embraced. In our recent article, we look at businesses adopting a four-day working week, its impacts on health and wellbeing, and its long-term implications: https://lnkd.in/dJa2RnNf #wellbeing #fourdayweek #news #safety #healthandsafety #health
