This week during #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - we revisit our podcast with Katie Nurse, Netspeak Games’ People Director, whose focus on wellbeing in the team is perfect for an episode rooted in welfare.

Little things add up quickly. Our Quick Tips offer small, practical actions that, taken together, can help build a strong working culture - one where people feel supported to do their best work.
It's Mental Health Awareness Week... so what better time to check your workplace's Stress and Mental Health policies? If you need help, we've got guidance and a model policy over on our website.
All projects, no matter how short or long term, deserve to be approached with the same care and attention.
If you need some help setting up your projects - and embedding good working practices in your day-to-day operations - head to workwiseforscreen.org.uk for practical support and guidance.
There's no one-size-fits-all solution for managing people - everyone's different, after all. That's why it's important to have regular check-ins with your team, one-on-one. A private chat allows people to be honest, without feeling the pressure to speak in front of other people.
This is one of our Quick Tips postcards - you can find the whole set on our website, or drop us a line and we'll send you printed copies!
This month, we're highlighting the importance of putting people first, and with that our podcast episode from Samantha Wainstein, Chair of the Mark Milsome Foundation, about the realities of health and safety in UK film and TV.
Following the tragic, preventable death of camera operator Mark Milsome in 2017, the Foundation has worked to challenge industry norms and advocate for safer working conditions.
Samantha shares why safe sets are calm sets, simple things every employer can do to protect their crew, and how cultural change is as critical as compliance.

Great to see such brilliant coverage of Screen Alliance North’s Into The Lead programme!
The programme incorporated modules on sustainability, inclusivity, and good working practices - one of which was delivered by our Programme Director, Keith Arrowsmith - to help upskill a cohort of SME leaders who are already transforming the scripted screen sector.
