Envireau Water's Mindfulness in the Workplace

April 30, 2020

Building resilience, establishing a routine and understanding our emotions and how to combat these, are just a few of the things that Louise, our Office Manager has been providing advice on in the form of a weekly newsletter.


Louise attended a St Johns Ambulance Adult Mental Health First Aid course which has enabled her to become a mental health first aider. Covering a range of topics with a focus on mental health in the workplace, Louise has been able to pass knowledge and topics on, allowing the Envireau Team to become more aware of how we are feeling and the importance of good mental and physical health.


During this period where many of us are ‘working from home’ it is more important than ever that we regularly check in with colleagues and keep a balance between work and home life. This maintains the strong ‘Team Mentality’ within and between our office groups, as well as spending time with family.


By implementing a range of physical and mental activities and strategies, all the Envireau Team have created a supportive and friendly remote working environment. From weekly yoga sessions and Friday quiz’s, to daily discussions and team challenges, all contributed to a productive workforce, increased resilience and adapting well to a ‘new normal’.


Louise’s weekly newsletters have helped us a lot, therefore we thought we would share a summary of them so that they might help others too; take a read here.


Please note that we are not claiming ownership for these summary points and guidance on mindfulness, these are simply easy reads based from various sources that have helped our team adapt to a ‘new normal’.

Across the globe, plastic pollution is becoming an increasingly crucial topic, with an estimated 400 million tonnes being produced every year world wide. While the focus is often on visible plastic (including bottles, bags, and packaging), a growing body of research is turning its attention to the invisible threat of microplastics and emerging contaminants, which are increasingly finding their way into water sources, food chains and even the air we breathe.  What are microplastics? Microplastics are a growing threat to the health of our planet. Despite being barely visible, these tiny plastic particles account for roughly 8% of global plastic waste, a number that is set to increase in the coming years.

As much as we all love the sunshine and have been embracing the recent warmer weather spell across the UK, the prolonged dry conditions are now raising concerns that England may be at risk of a potential drought this summer. Following an exceptionally sunny and dry April, which experienced just over 56% of usual rainfall, the start of May was also the warmest on record, surpassing the previous high set in 1990. With water resources already strained, it is more important than ever that proactive measures are promptly adopted to mitigate this risk, promote water conservation and avoid the potential for future restrictions. We asked Principal Water Resources Specialist, Tamsin Morey , for her thoughts on the matter... Tamsin, what dangers are we already seeing in the UK?
