HR Director's cut are joined by special guest Laura Capell-Abra, founder of Stress Matters. Together, they delve into a critical topic that often goes unaddressed &ndash; how to navigate the aftermath of a loss, specifically by suicide, within a team. They also talk about what you can do to support your teams mental health. Laura strongly believes that Success doesn't have to be Stressful. After working in the events industry for 17 years, running global event campaigns, writing the For Dummies guide to Event Management and running a successful agency, Laura experienced her fair share of stress and pressure. Going on a path of discovery and re-training, Laura set up coaching and development company No More Ifs Or Buts in 2016 to support creatively minded individuals to achieve more whilst working more effectively (and therefore less!). Following this, in 2019, Laura launched her second business, Stress Matters, a workplace wellbeing organisation, and now certified B Corporation, to support cultural change in workplaces around wellbeing.
