It is no secret that 2021 has been a challenging year. From business owners to families, everyone felt the financial, emotional and physical pressure of national lockdowns, supply shortages and more. Though the “new normal” is firmly in sight, the repercussions of COVID-19’s impact are still evident in the workplace.
Burnout, demotivation and anxiety are commonplace in British workplaces. As 21% of British adults experienced some form of depression in early 2021, it is clear that more needs to be done to improve wellbeing. For many, the start of a new year brings uncertainty and anxiety, especially considering Blue Monday takes place on the third Monday of January and is described as the "most depressing day of the year".
Organising a kick-off event is the perfect way to reignite your employees. Keynote motivational speakers are resident experts on resilience and determination - valuable traits in the face of adversity, particularly for high-pressure sales departments.
