Workplace wellbeing is not just good practice, it is good business with employees likely to be more productive, happier, and less stressed.

Greater Manchester Wellbeing Series is the brainchild of Nick Rusling, the former owner of the Manchester Marathon.

Reflecting on the property sector’s involvement in the event, Rusling said: “Architects were first off the mark, then construction. Next in were commercial real estate, developers and engineers.  Property services and management got stuck in. All demonstrating a concern for their teams and colleagues.

“GM Wellbeing Series is designed to celebrate and champion wellbeing at work,” he continued. “Using the power of collaboration and a sprinkle of property sector competitiveness.

“Property is, after all, the ‘place’ in workplace wellbeing.  This is just the beginning.”
