Take a Break!
 |
Do you know that taking a break actually makes us more productive, allowing us to recharge our batteries and is better for our mental wellbeing? Think about how you and others are currently working. Take a break, even if only for 5 minutes. Move around. Move away from the computer. Go and talk to someone or find somewhere quiet – whatever gives you more of a break. As part of our commitment to staff we ask you to make sure you TAKE A BREAK! Click on the poster image on the left to download the Trust's 'TAKE A BREAK' poster. |
