You’ll find the previous post we’ve written on this theme:

We’re writing this post to share our plans for Wellbeing Camp:

  • It’s on Thursday 6 June 2019, from 10am — 4pm.
  • It’s in Cloth Hall Court, Leeds.
  • The theme is inclusion, and,
  • you should tweet at us (use #OTGWellbeingCamp) if you’d like to host a session.

If you want to know more:

We’ve previously set out five goals for One Team Gov in the coming year, this includes Diversity and Inclusion.

This is at the heart of our overall aim to improve the way we work, because everyone deserves to work in a more inclusive environment. We believe that when people to be able to be themselves at work we welcome more diverse voices that in turn help us to produce better services and outcomes for citizens. This is stated on our fourth principle, and you can read more about our principles below.

So on Thursday 6 June 2019, we are running Wellbeing Camp. Our communities are telling us that they’d like to talk more about wellbeing and inclusion; that public servants need to know more about how we create an inclusive culture and, crucially, take care of each other.

The event will look in more detail at inclusion and the impact this can have on our wellbeing. We are all human. Inclusion is about you, me, and all of us; it is about belonging, purpose and wellbeing.

This is One Team Gov’s commitment to creating a safe space to start this conversation.

We’re currently working on the content of the day but there will be talks, demos, workshops and safe spaces to hold more personal conversations.

Interested?

  • If you want to attend, save the date, Thursday 6th June, in your diary 📅.
