Postponed RenTalks Session

Holistic wellbeing with Time for Talking

Unfortunately, the planned session on Holistic Wellbeing with our employee counselling service, has been postponed due to limited availability at this time. Time for Talking extends their apologies and assures us they will reschedule this session when their capacity allows. In the meantime, colleagues can explore a wealth of wellbeing resources on our Wellbeing Hub and iLearn, including previous RenTalks sessions on topics like stress management and work-life balance.

New recordings on iLearn

If you're unable to join a live RenTalks session, you can catch up on the recording later on iLearn. You'll find them in the Professional and Personal Development section.

Some recent recordings include:
