Today We Remember – Lest We Forget On this Remembrance Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. At 11 a.m., we will join in a two-minute silence to reflect on the courage and resilience of those who fought in past conflicts and to recognise the ongoing dedication of the armed forces. This moment of reflection unites us in gratitude and remembrance, reminding us of the impact of their service and the freedoms we enjoy today because of their sacrifice. As we wear our poppies with pride, let’s also take a moment to support and acknowledge the veterans, active service members, and their families who have been affected by war. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget #WeWillRememberThem #PoppyAppeal #HonoringHeroes #Veterans #SupportOurTroops #November11 #Remembrance #Sfm

Guten Tag! ✈️ Off to Germany? Here Are 5 Must-Know Phrases! As some of our team members are heading to Germany for Medica next week, we’re brushing up on our language skills. Knowing a few key phrases can make all the difference when traveling abroad, so here are 5 essential German phrases that every business traveler should know: 1. “Guten Tag!” – Good day! 📣 Pronounced: goo-ten tahg Use this polite greeting when meeting someone. It’s always good to start with a friendly “Guten Tag!” 2. “Sprechen Sie Englisch?” – Do you speak English? 📣 Pronounced: shpreh-khen zee eng-lish This phrase will help if you’re unsure about your German skills. Many Germans speak English, but it’s polite to ask first. 3. “Ich hätte gerne…” – I would like… 📣 Pronounced: ikh heh-teh gair-nuh Great for making polite requests, whether you’re ordering food or asking for information. 4. “Wie komme ich zu…?” – How do I get to…? 📣 Pronounced: vee koh-meh ikh tsoo Perfect for asking directions. You can add your destination, such as “Wie komme ich zum Hauptbahnhof?” (vee koh-meh ikh tsoom howpt-bahn-hof) – How do I get to the main train station? 5. “Entschuldigung, wo ist die nächste U-Bahn-Station?” – Excuse me, where is the nearest subway station? 📣 Pronounced: ent-shool-dee-goong, voh ist dee naek-steh oo-bahn stah-tsee-on Essential for navigating public transport in German cities.

It’s Stress Awareness Week – Let’s Prioritise Our Well-Being Stress can be a part of work life, but managing it effectively is key to maintaining both mental and physical health. During Stress Awareness Week, let’s take a moment to reflect on ways to reduce stress and support each other in creating a healthier work environment. Here are 5 Tips to Help Reduce Stress at Work: 1. Take Regular Breaks 🧘♂️ Short, frequent breaks throughout the day can help recharge your mind and body. Step away from your desk, stretch, or go for a walk to refresh your focus. 2. Set Boundaries ⏰ Avoid burnout by setting clear boundaries between work and personal time. Make sure to log off at a reasonable hour and disconnect from work-related notifications when you’re off the clock. 3. Prioritize Tasks ✅ Use tools like to-do lists or task management apps to organise your day. Focus on the most important tasks first and tackle them one at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed. 4. Practice Mindfulness 🧘♀️ Mindfulness techniques, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises, can help calm the mind and reduce stress levels. Even a few minutes of mindfulness can make a big difference. 5. Communicate 💬 Don’t hesitate to talk to your colleagues or manager if you’re feeling stressed. Open communication can lead to finding practical solutions, and sharing experiences can help build a supportive work culture. Remember, stress is a normal part of life, but taking proactive steps can help manage it effectively. Let’s support each other in creating a balanced and healthy workplace.
