David de Banke
Senior HR Business Partner
Promoting wellbeing helps to create positive working environments where we
can truly thrive and be at our best. Plus the more we focus on ourselves - the
more we learn about ourselves!
I was driven to become a wellbeing champion to bring ideas, feedback and
experience from both field and corporate perspectives to help shape our
wellbeing programme, and to keep focus on what is most meaningful for our
associates.
Vanisha Gosai
Senior Commercial Finance Manager - Wholesale, Gross Profit and Payroll
As a company we are going through a process of change, with employee
wellbeing forming the foundation of this change. As a people manager I have
a direct responsibility to embed these behavioral changes within my team and
lead by example. I believe with my passion for wellbeing in my personal life
I can channel that energy and drive the cultural change within my team and
peers. Given that we spend most our week at work, I believe being conscious
of my personal wellbeing and the impact that I can have on others wellbeing is
of the utmost importance.
I believe wellbeing is the about the setting the foundation to build a successful and balanced life. The
actions that lead to your own wellbeing is personal to the individual; for me this means finding small
everyday actions to help ground myself, for example taking a 10 minute break in my working day, taking
time to practice yoga in the morning or even taking my dog for a walk. These small actions give me positive
energy which I can channel into the various aspects of my life and help enhance my own wellbeing.
Ian Kenny
District Manager UK South & Ireland
I wanted to become a wellbeing ambassador as it allows me to positively
impact people's lives. I can listen to what the challenges are, help to find
solutions and offer support for employees. For me personally, it has been
a truly engaging experience that has allowed me to connect to different
communities on topics that are so important to me, the business, and every
person that works in Michael Kors.
