As part of Alfred H Knight’s (AHK’s) ongoing wellness strategy, we partnered with Saints Community Development Foundation and HSBC Bank to deliver workshops supporting mental, physical and financial well-being throughout 2024.

At Alfred H Knight, the team are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment in which every colleague feels valued, respected and empowered. They recognise the importance of creating a culture where positive mental health is promoted and enabled through various resources and support.

Saints Community Development Foundation, a local charitable organisation that promotes health and social inclusion, has supported AHK colleagues in their well-being over the past year through a series of well-being workshops at our Liverpool HQ office.

These workshops focused on topics including:

Mental Health Awareness
Physical Activity
Nutrition
Men’s Mental Health
Sleep

These sessions have received positive feedback from colleagues, fostering a healthier and more resilient workforce.

“I found these sessions very insightful and felt I learned a lot about mental health and the factors affecting it. The sessions were very interesting and the information was relayed in a fun and engaging way. I hope the company continues to support our colleagues’ with more sessions like this in the future for staff that may have missed them last year.” – AHK Colleague.

SUPPORTING FINANCIAL HEALTH

Well-being extends beyond physical and mental health – financial health also plays a key role in our overall well-being. To support this, AHK partnered with HSBC Bank to deliver a series of virtual workshops.

As part of this, AHK colleagues had the opportunity to explore key financial topics, with sessions designed to address a variety of needs and life stages, including:

Making the Most of Your Money
Coping with the Cost of Living
Managing and Growing Your Wealth
First-Time Buyer
Beginners Guide to Investing
Pensions and Retirement
Understanding Your Credit Score

The feedback from the HSBC workshops was overwhelmingly positive, with attendees praising the clarity, relevance, and helpfulness of the sessions. Here’s a snapshot of what some of our colleagues had to say:

“Extremely clear advice. Presented in a really easy-to-follow way.”
“Very informative… I learnt so much!”
“Useful insight into topics I was not familiar with before.”
