ENABLING WELLBEING
Your health & wellbeing is our priority. We have a number of support services, such as the
Employee Assistance Programme (PAM Assist) where you access free counselling and a
host of online wellbeing resources.
The extreme measures put in place to limit the spread of coronavirus have impacted
everyone in some way. We will continue to encourage you to talk, take part in mindfulness
and physical exercise, all of which have been proven to reduce anxiety levels.
Remember it's okay to feel anxious. Indeed, it would be unnatural not to feel this way,
whether the feelings of anxiety are due to pressure to juggle looking after children while
working, changes to your role, returning to the campus or having to use public transport to
return to work. There are many resources on MyConnect to support your health & wellbeing.
If you find yourself struggling we would encourage you to call PAM Assist on 0800 882
4102. This is a free and confidential service offering:
• Personal counselling by phone, face to
face, email or video
• Information & signposting on many of
life's issues via their website
• Referral to expert advice on legal & debt
matters
• Support any time of the day or night,
365 days of the year
The helpful PAM Assist factsheet reminds you that the counselling service is there for you
should you ever need it.
If you would like to find out more about the wellbeing support available, your manager can
