Learning Lunch – How to Write a Press Release
11th October 12pm – 2pm at Clockwise Leeds.
Making the news should not be something to fear. By utilising the right tactics, working with the press can be mutually beneficial, commercially rewarding and reputation enhancing. Effective media communication is simply a case of knowing what to say, how and when to say it and of course to make sure you’re providing professionally written, credible and newsworthy content! This learning lunch is designed to give you the top tips from former journalist, PR consultant and past president of Bradford Chamber, Suzanne Watson. As managing director of multi-award-winning Approach PR, and with a media career spanning 30 years, Suzanne has written both in the role of journalist and PR consultant, communicating key commercial messages in a newsworthy and engaging way.
Learning Lunch - How to Manage Mental Health in the Workplace
12th November 12pm – 2pm at Devere House, Bradford
Did you know that mental health is estimated to cost the UK economy £70bn-£100bn every year? Break that down per organisation and it’s a sizeable sum. Staff mental health, which includes workplace stress, anxiety and depression, is taking up an ever-increasing amount of time for those responsible for managing staff absence. Legally, there should be no distinction between physical and psychological illness, but mental illness is one of the most difficult issues employers must handle. Mishandling a mental health problem could trigger a constructive dismissal claim and may also lead to a claim for disability discrimination and personal injury.
