After a productive in-person team meeting, some of our office team headed to the North Inch in Perth to accompany Sandra (our Marketing Co-ordinator) on one of her MS Society UK fundraising walks. Sandra is aiming to complete 60 walks (or cycles) by the end of September, which is a year after she started. Energy boosts were provided by Ruth's delicious courgette🥒 cake and Rachel's tasty orange🍊 cake. We decided these treats counted as two of our recommended five-a-day. 😉 ✅️ ✅ ️
In addition to raising funds for MS Society UK, Sandra is keen to increase awareness of living with a chronic health condition, in this instance by flagging up the benefits and challenges of remaining in the workplace.
The culture at Rowan is one of inclusion and support, and all the office-based staff are offered reasonable adjustments to help them remain in work. In return, staff are committed, flexible, and less likely to need time off.
Sandra says, 'I enjoy the stimulation of work, and find the interactions with my colleagues help keep my health challenges in perspective. Feeling valued in the workplace helps me maintain good mental health. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a supportive employer and can find attending work a struggle. If they had to discontinue working this could be an unnecessary loss not only to the individual, but to the business, and broader society. The MS Society has an excellent video titled "Working and MS" on their website. The examples of positive and negative behaviour are thought-provoking and relevant to many businesses and health conditions. I would urge employers and employees to watch this video and embed as many of the recommendations as possible into their business.'
In addition to its counselling service, Rowan offers several in-house training courses aimed at providing workplace teams with guidance on how to support colleagues. Check our website training links for details and do get in touch with any questions. We are here to help.
