🌟 That’s a wrap on KCYS Workplace Wellbeing Week 2025! 🌟
This week, the KCYS team took the opportunity to spotlight wellbeing and embraced a wonderful mix of activities focused on connection, reflection, creativity, and fun — all rooted in the Five Pillars of Wellbeing. Our week was filled with fun filled moments, making connections. reminders of what makes us feel good, and ideas on how to mind ourselves and support one another in meaningful ways!
Here’s how we brought each pillar to life:
🤝 Connect – We kicked off with a full-day a Team Building Day on the Lakes of Killarney, organised by Shannon & our social committee — plenty of laughter & antics, with new memories made.
🌿 Take Notice – What a way to start Tuesday with some Mindfulness with Helena, and by Friday we slowed things down with a peaceful walk in Killarney National Park, with our expert guides, Dinny & Stephen!
📚 Keep Learning – Being creative is not only a great way to decompress, but a great way to learn – we had two very different creative workshops delivered by our own Pavlina & Leanne, allowing the artistic (or not so artistic) streak to shine!
💃 Be Active – A feel-good movement session with Ray helped us loosen up, lift our spirits, and shake off the Thursday slump.
🎁 Give – Whether sharing time, a listening ear, or a favourite dish at our Pot Luck Lunch on Friday (organised by Henrique & Selena), we were reminded of the power of generosity and everyday kindness.
Throughout the week, our staff also took part in lighthearted daily challenges (yes, Wordle made the cut!) and reflected on how even small acts of self-care and connection can make a big impact.
In KCYS, we know that wellbeing isn’t a luxury — it’s the foundation of a healthy, compassionate, and thriving organisation. When we support each other to feel well, we all do better — for ourselves, our teams, and the young people, their families and the communities we serve.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined in and helped make the week meaningful!
Here’s to carrying these habits forward!
