SPONSORED VIDEO

What does a company with a real mental health culture look like?

In this session, Sophie Thorogood, Technical Training Manager at Pelsis, shares how the business is leading the way in supporting staff wellbeing across its UK sites.

Sophie explains how Pelsis is:

  • Embedding mental health into everyday work life
  • Training mental health first aiders across departments
  • Running inclusive “Tea and Biscuit” days and wellbeing events
  • Tracking trends to identify stress and support needs early
  • Creating a culture where it’s safe to talk – and okay not to be okay

She also reflects on her own experiences with isolation, self-care and finding balance in a busy profession, offering practical tips for pest professionals everywhere.

Whether you’re an employer, a technician or a sole trader, you’ll find real ideas you can take back to your business to build a happier, healthier workplace.
