You don’t need the PESGB to tell you that 2020 has been a most challenging year for individuals and companies alike. Reaching out and contacting friends and colleagues can make a real difference to everybody’s mental health and wellbeing, especially as many of us are isolated from the office environment and working from home.

Over the course of  a normal year, many of us would reacquaint ourselves with old colleagues and friends at conferences. With the absence of physical conferences this year and virtual conferences not quite offering the same experience, the PESGB is encouraging our members to reach out and contact 5 others whom you wouldn’t normally talk to in the course of your day-to-day work.

Reaching out and contacting others could make a huge difference to their lives and yours. It helps promote good mental health, allows for the exchange of ideas or news and gives you great networking opportunities.

So grab a hot or cold beverage of your choice and contact someone today!
