Welcome
NOVEMBER EDITION
Welcome to the November edition of Flourish.
As the end of the year draws closer, it’s easy for our own wellbeing to slip
down the priority list. Deadlines gather, diaries fill and we tell ourselves we’ll
take a breath when things settle down. This November, we’re encouraging
you to make a little room for yourself now.
In this edition of Flourish, we explore men’s mental health at work and
beyond, including the expectations that can make it difficult to speak openly
or ask for support. We also look at workplace stress and manager burnout,
recognising that healthier working lives depend on both individual support
and the way work is organised.
Being heard is another important thread running through these pages. Our
feature on menopause considers how workplaces can better understand and
support this often-overlooked life stage. We also address ending violence
against women and girls, and the importance of responding to colleagues
with sensitivity, respect and care.
Elsewhere, you’ll find plenty of practical inspiration. Our beginner’s guide to
the gym helps make that first visit feel less daunting, while our nutrition and
sleep features explore the everyday foundations of wellbeing. With summer
approaching, we turn our attention to melanoma and sun awareness,
alongside a closer look at fatty liver disease.
We also unpack the appeal and potential pitfalls of accessing your pay early,
explore the creativity of fragrance layering, and serve up lamb-stuffed sweet
potatoes for your next family dinner.
We hope you enjoy this edition of Flourish.
