April is Stress Awareness Month. In the past year, it’s been more important than ever to look after ourselves and our wellbeing. This means identifying what’s causing us stress and learning how to manage it. At B&Q, we work with the Retail Trust so that every colleague can access personalised wellbeing resources - whether that’s financial or emotional support or career development advice. Our colleagues also support each other every day and we couldn’t be prouder of them. Whether it's virtual chair yoga, a cuppa and a chat in one of our store’s wellness rooms, or 24/7 support from the Retail Trust, #TogetherWeCan learn to live a happier, less stressful life.
We recently held our annual conference – virtual for the first time! Our leaders from across the business came together all eager to hear from the board about our big plans for 2021. We also had a talk by Dr. Chatterjee, who shared his expert advice on how we can all take small steps to improve our wellbeing. Albeit virtual this year, the event was a huge success, colleagues left feeling excited for the year ahead and of course - proud to work for B&Q. 🧡
Our Supply Manager Michael started at B&Q five years ago and is currently recruiting for a Supply Chain Analyst to join his team. We spoke to him about career progression and what life is like at B&Q.

To support each other in our stores, our colleagues have been creating wellness rooms. These communal spaces are designed with relaxation and wellbeing in mind, giving colleagues a place to go during their breaks to unwind and enjoy a moment's quiet with a cuppa. ☕ Here are Andrew and Niall with the details. 👇 #TogetherWeCan
Our colleagues have been doing an outstanding job of keeping our stores open to help our customers keep their homes warm, safe, and secure. While the vast majority of shopping trips to our stores are trouble free, others are unfortunately not, which is why we’re supporting the British Retail Consortium (BRC) in its call to Government to take seriously abuse and violence towards shop workers. Requesting that they improve protection for all retail colleagues across the industry by creating a new statutory offence of assaulting, threatening, or abusing a retail worker. There is no place in retail for abuse and violence and we stand together with the retail community. For more information visit https://lnkd.in/d3Y9rQD
