Mental health awareness week (14th-20th May) has put employee wellbeing at the forefront of all organisations agendas. Norfolk Chamber are pleased to announce that we are continuing this focus at our next Great Yarmouth Business Breakfast on Thursday 21 June at Great Yarmouth Town Hall. The average person now sits for roughly 10 hours a day, this sedentary lifestyle plays a big part in contributing towards the UK’s obesity epidemic. We are being joined by Floyd Sayers, Flomotion and award winning interior designer Louise Ives-Wilkinson to discover how the environments we work in can have such a great impact on our health and wellbeing. Floyd has been working at Flomotion for 3 years and believes that to do our best we need to feel good and that means focusing on the body and mind, leading to more productivity, engagement and improved health and wellbeing. He will share Flomotion’s knowledge and expertise around sit-stand desks, active seating and accessories. Alongside their health and wellbeing initiatives promoting movement, exercise, stretching, breathing and mindfulness. Louise, whilst taking time out from designing to raise her family, fell ill from post-natal depression and anxiety. During the time spent battling these illnesses Louise realised the huge impact your internal environment can have on your health and wellbeing. When starting to research deeper into the field, her studies led her to Biophilic design. Starting with her home, she set about creating a sanctuary which would help reduce her depression, lower her stress levels and increase her sense of wellbeing. After her recovery and realisation of the growing mental health crisis, Louise identified a way to help others through interior design. She changed the focus of her design business to incorporate proven design methodology to create a holistic approach to interior spaces. The breakfast event will give delegates the opportunity to learn, network, build relationships and enjoy a breakfast with fellow Chamber members.
