Mental Health - Mindfulness

Please see enclosed a posters that were shared with us by our strategic health partner, All Health
Matters.

Mindfulness is a technique used to reduce stress and improve concentration. It involves actively
focusing on a goal and being aware of your thoughts and feelings.

This does not have to take any significant time, just take a minute when you are feeling stressed to stop
and reconsider what is important. Concentrate on the highest priority task, set yourself a goal to
complete that task before worrying about other tasks, don’t try to multitask.

During breaks take the time to think about non-work activities, get up and walk away from your desk /
work area. Consider taking a walk outside.

Don’t be embarrassed to ask for help, Lawrence and Lee have both been trained in Mental Health first
aid and can provide confidential help, or you can contact our Employee Assistance Programme.

We are all a product of learning. Every skill we have; everything we know; everything we believe and everything we do has
been learned throughout the course of our lives. Some of us learn best by studying graphs and charts, some through visual
presentations, and some by reading detailed text books. It is important that we receive information in a format that works for
us as individuals! That’s why at Xmo Strata we use a variety of communication platforms such as bulletins, newsletters,
videos etc. However, if you feel there is a better way for us to share health and safety information, please let us know.
Ultimately, your safety is in your hands – but we will do all we can to keep you well informed!
