Our new Thank You app is a quick and easy way to make your colleague's day!

Share your appreciation and recognise positive work with a thank you message

delivered straight to your colleague's inbox. 

How to send a thank you

Watch this interactive demonstration to find out how to send a thank you and what to expect when you receive one.

What to look out for 

If somebody sends you a thank you, both you and your manager will get an email notification from 'Cyferd Platform'. We have partnered with staff from the Royal Papworth Hospital to bring you this app, that is why it looks a little different to our usual communications. When you send and receive thank yous you will be taken to the Cyferd portal. The images below show you what to look out for.

Could you join our team of UHD Health and Wellbeing Champions?

A proactive approach to supporting the health and wellbeing of Team UHD is vital. Without first taking care of our own wellbeing, we cannot look after others. As a Health and Wellbeing Champion you can play a significant role in supporting your colleagues.

We are looking for engaged and enthusiastic people who have an interest in supporting their colleagues’ mental health, have a passion for social wellbeing and inclusion and a desire to support their colleagues to be fit and healthy at work.

What does being a Health and Wellbeing Champion involve?

You will be part of a trust wide network of Health and Wellbeing Champions responsible for ensuring your colleagues’ wellbeing needs are heard. You will be involved in helping the trust form its wider approach to workforce health and wellbeing by helping at events and sharing wellbeing resources and messages.

As a minimum you will...

·         Share health and wellbeing resources with your colleagues

·         Join monthly Health and Wellbeing Champions check-ins to share best practice, discuss challenges and access support from your champion peers

·         Have the opportunity to inform and influence UHD strategy and framework for colleague health and wellbeing

·         Help support a healthy workplace by helping to raise awareness of health and wellbeing activities

What support will be given?

Champions will be invited to attend monthly virtual Health and Wellbeing Champion check-ins, where you will be able to network with other champions across the trust, gain insight on wellbeing activity and resources, ask any questions you may have and have the opportunity to share ideas.

You will also be invited to attend biannual virtual development sessions and biannual face to face development sessions.

You will become a member of the Health and Wellbeing Champions MS Teams channel where you can access information, share ideas and keep up to date with activities.
