Thrive: supporting advisers' wellbeing

Supporting and enhancing people’s wellbeing is important for individuals and for businesses. It allows us to be at our best and to fulfil our potential, not just at work but in our lives at home too. Today, it’s more important than ever for us to show that we care for each other, and recognise the importance of talking about our emotional and personal wellbeing.

Thrive

Paul Feeney introduces Quilter's Thrive programme for advisers.

Thrive: mental health & wellbeing support

We are proud to share with you, our community of advisers, our ‘Thrive’ initiative, which has been running for Quilter employees since 2018. Thrive contains a range of resources, tools and information that you may find useful in taking care of your own personal health and wellbeing, and that of your colleagues and loved ones.

The importance of resilience

In times of uncertainty and change, resilience is a positive trait we can all develop to help us cope.

Looking after your mental health

Looking after our mental health is just as important as looking after our physical health.

Tips for wellbeing

There are many ways you can protect your emotional and physical wellbeing. Here are some suggestions that you may like to try.

Stay connected and communicate

Communication and social contact is really important – especially when working remotely.

Keeping fit and healthy

Diet and exercise is often built around our daily routines, which have been disrupted recently.

Working effectively from home

It's important to create stability and routine where we can, to limit distractions and to create a productive work environment.

Quilter colleagues share their experiences

William Reid, a former submariner, gives his top tips for working from home

Quilter Cheviot’s Head of Charities, William Reid, is a former submariner and knows what it is like to live in confinement and isolation. In his former role he was submerged in a submarine, on patrol, for up to 102 days at a time.

Lucia Baker shares with us her experience of homeschooling in the early days of lockdown

I’ve been talking to my Italian cousins a lot over the past few weeks. The word that comes up a lot is - broadly translated - surreal. And that sums up the past week - my first as a homeschooler - for me quite nicely.

If you would like to share any of your wellbeing experiences, please get in touch.
