Reinsurance industry PR firm spreads word on morale

Want to boost employee morale in a time of stagnant, work-from-home lockdowns?

 

Step one: Appoint a “culture champion,” says London-based Rein4ce, a public relations firm focused on the international insurance and reinsurance markets, in a blog post on Wednesday written by the appointee herself.

 

As Caitlin Jennings writes, the company has come up with five “tried and tested” ways to boost staff morale — her new job the first protocol.

 

Other changes include a series of 30-day challenges, from exercises to cooking demos, with each day provided a new activity to complete and share with the team; a weekly Skype meeting — wine optional — to talk about how a week has been and identify challenges or personal struggles; mental health half days to help with productivity; and a “feel-good event for the month.”

 

“Some of our favorites over the past few months have been a team pizza night, a wine tasting session, and a brilliant gin tasting,” wrote Ms. Jennings.
