A half day workshop exploring practical ways we can invest in our workplace happiness.
Empty Spaces, Expressionless Faces. Supporting colleagues in a hybrid workplace In a world where hybrid working is becoming the norm for many people, staying connected with colleagues can feel challenging. The subtle signals we might notice in face-to-face interactions can easily be missed when working remotely. This interactive two-hour workshop explores how we can support one another, strengthen team connections, and spot the signs when someone may be struggling. Designed for anyone in a hybrid workplace, this session empowers participants to recognise the behaviours and communication patterns that might indicate a colleague is finding things difficult, and helps them to respond with empathy and support. Through thought-provoking discussions, engaging activities, and practical strategies, participants will discover new ways to foster genuine connection — both online and face-to-face — to build and sustain a supportive team culture. Workshop outline: Noticing subtle shifts in mood and behaviour within a hybrid team. Exploring practical strategies for checking in without feeling intrusive. Encouraging open conversations in both virtual and physical settings. Creating a team culture that prioritises compassion and connection. This is not a lecture — it’s an engaging, interactive experience designed to leave participants feeling more confident in their ability to spot when a colleague might need support and better equipped to take meaningful action. Join us for this impactful session and discover how small moments of connection can inspire a more supportive, resilient hybrid workplace. 2-hour workshop packages At Mindmaps Wellbeing, we know that every business is unique, and no team is the same.

Grief unscripted Grief Unscripted; Rebuilding after loss 2-Hour Workshop Grief isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience – it’s messy, unpredictable, and completely unique to each of us. That’s why we call it Grief Unscripted – because, just like life, there’s no script, no right way to grieve, and no timeline to follow. Whether it’s loss, change, or the unexpected twists life throws at us, this workshop provides practical strategies and holistic psychology to help us understand grief and mourning. We’ll dig deep into this messy, poignant and personal journey that affects us all, while breaking down the stigma and opening-up honest conversations.
