Health awareness at work - Alison’s story

Employment Adviser, Alana tells us about her participant Alison.

“From the beginning, Better Working Futures were able to support Alison with gaining new qualifications and knowledge.

“Alison was very keen to undertake any training necessary to progress forward and increase her knowledge and skills. She attended all our Health and Wellbeing sessions and completed several Employability and Skills training courses in the office.”

During her time at Better Working Futures, Alison completed workshops in: Transferrable Skills, Confidence Building, Interview Questions, and Exploring Job Goals.

Whilst attending the Health and Wellbeing sessions, Alison was supported with managing anxiety, stress awareness, mindfulness, and sleep well topics, in multiple workshops that are available as part of our service.

“From the very start, Alison was highly engaged with our service and training opportunities, even though she was very anxious. Alison really looked forward to coming to her appointments, which I’m certain played a part in building up her confidence.

“Alison is now in sustainable employment and has utilised the skills and knowledge that she has learnt from Better Working Futures to gain an additional role alongside her current job.

“Well done, Alison!”
