The Spectris Foundation is thrilled to have collaborated with our charity partner, Apps for Good, on their brand-new Career Series! This fantastic initiative brings students and school leaders together with industry professionals for insightful 30-minute conversations, perfectly timed for National Careers Week.
We were honoured to participate in the School Leader session, focusing on the vital topic of staff wellbeing. Our dedicated HR professional volunteers, Helen Inch and Teresa Gaiderman from Malvern Panalytical, and Julie Burridge from Servomex, shared valuable strategies and tips to enhance wellbeing within school environments.
Teresa said: “Collaborating with Apps for Good was a great experience. Sharing our company knowledge with school leaders and being given the opportunity to discuss the topic of Health and Wellbeing through a podcast was truly brilliant.”
Helen added, “It was nice to share highlights and key themes on how we support our employees within the Malvern Panalytical business which may be helpful to other organisations. It was also a great opportunity to share ideas and best practice across the Spectris Group.
Where practically possible I would encourage employees to put themselves forward and get involved with volunteering activities, which enables them to offer their expertise and knowledge within different organisations. I genuinely believe building relationships and developing wider networks is important.”
Julie said. “It was a pleasure to volunteer some of my time with Apps for Good. Personally, I found the whole experience very beneficial, and I hope that those listening in will take some useful tips away. It’s great to be able to support Apps for Good in the fantastic work that they do.”
A huge thank you to Helen, Teresa and Julie for their insightful contributions! We’re proud to support Apps for Good in empowering school leaders and promoting their wellbeing.
