There is no denying it, despite tech coming on leaps and bounds, people like to talk and like dealing with people. The conversation flow is much more natural. Live chat alone has its place, however talking to a human on the phone, and/or being able to see who you are speaking with can make a big difference. And you need not just have one or the other, it could all come together. Video is now a huge part of how we communicate with suppliers, colleagues, customers and has drastically changed the way we now work. When looking for a new solution it can be a minefield, but it needn't be. If you are considering a new telephony or unified communications solution for 10 users or more then "Let's talk". Do you need a handful of options to evaluate? Do you want desk phones, Mac/PC soft phones or something more mobile centric (or all all the above)? We can help! By understanding our clients wants, needs and budgets, we can evaluate and present a shortlist of options. We work with you. We have partnerships with numerous UCaaS / Telephony platforms and providers, and can compare what each offering has helping you make an informed decision. Cloud Voice, 8x8, Ring Central, Vonage, Dialpad & more!

Great post from Janie at Soulstar about self care, mental health and employee wellbeing. Well worth a read, especially businesses in and round Lancashire. #lancashire #business #wellbeing #selfcare #corporatesocialresponsibility Boost; Lancashire's Business Growth Hub Andrew Leeming

The Vital Importance of Employee Wellbeing As organisations increasingly recognise the importance of corporate social responsibility, A key area deserving attention is employee wellbeing. Promoting mental health & work-life balance for staff isn't just the right thing to do - it's good business sense. The Costs of Stress & Burnout Excessive workplace stress takes a major toll, leading to lower productivity, higher absenteeism & staff turnover, also increased healthcare costs. The WHO calls stress a "worldwide epidemic," estimating it costs UK businesses £70 billion per year in absenteeism, turnover, diminished productivity, & medical expenses. Chronic, unmanaged stress triggers serious mental & physical health issues, anxiety, depression, heart disease, obesity, & substance abuse. It's a vicious cycle, as these conditions then feed back into more stress, absenteeism, & lost productivity. The Benefits of Prioritising Wellbeing Organisations that make employee wellness a priority see substantial returns in the form of higher engagement, retention, & performance. Small steps - offering counselling services, mindfulness training,massage or energy healing can go a long way. Massage therapy, in particular, reduces stress, anxiety, muscle tension, blood pressure, & heart rate. Other modalities like Reiki, sound healing, & breathwork can induce a profound state of relaxation, resetting the nervous system restoring inner equilibrium. Employees who receive regular massage or energy work report improved sleep, concentration, & emotional balance. They take fewer sick days, & are less likely to experience burnout. Over time, these benefits compound into a happier, healthier, & more productive workforce. An Ounce of Prevention Beyond just treating acute stress, prioritising employee self-care can prevent bigger problems down the line. Having a trusted massage therapist, Reiki practitioner, or sound healer that staff see regularly creates an outlet to process stress in a healthy way. It allows issues to be caught early before they snowball into larger mental health crises. Employees feel seen, heard, and cared for. They know their organisation values their wellbeing as a whole person, not just as a worker. This cultivates loyalty, engagement, and a positive workplace culture that attracts top talent. In today's high-stress world, employee wellness is no longer a nice-to-have perk - it's a competitive necessity. Organisations that invest in the health & balance of their people will be rewarded many times over with a thriving, resilient workforce. Soulstar Holistic Massage, Therapy & Self Recovery based in Morecambe, can help businesses look after their staff.

When was the last time you did a review of your telecoms estate? It's possible you could have old lines you have forgotten about. With the PSTN/ISDN network closure looming, you may be able to benefit from a tech refresh with copper line replacement options inc full fibre. With video conferencing being the norm and content being more immersive maybe you have noticed the bandwidth on your leased lines does not go as far as it once did. Or perhaps you've been tasked with looking at resilience options so your mission critical services are less likely to let you down? Want to chat? If you have BT connectivity we can help. https://lnkd.in/eJhPD-Vi If you have connectivity with other providers, we are happy to see where we can help here too.

This week I had a realisation. I am not the spring chicken my failing eyes have been leading me to believe. In my mind was still 33... Ok 33 and a bit. I don't know if its just me but do you get to a certain point in your life where you actually forget how old you are? You may celebrate birthdays but you no longer make a note or the number itself? Or is it just me? So I worked out my age using the tool we often use to work out lead times for network connections. Turns out I am 12,150 working days old (not counting weekends or bank holidays. 17,424 days old if you count them all up. Having done a little maths that is a little more than 33. I went to the opticians as I knew something didn't feel right and he asked me "do you find yourself holding things at arms length in order to read them" and I was like, "hmm yeah now you mention it. I do". I have had my existing prescription for a couple of years so knew it was time for a review to be fair. He informed me that I am now at that age where I might need a selection of glasses ie readers and distance or ... gulp... BI FOCALS!!!! In my mind, I was thinking of those old school half moon parts of lenses. Not the aesthetic I was hoping for. So we agreed to try a progressive approach instead ie varifocals. So I ordered some new specs which arrived Monday. They take a little getting used to, but wow these are a game changer! You have to adjust your head a little depending what you are looking at but beats switching glasses every few minutes like my dear old Dad does. Everything is now in glorious Ultra HD. Boom! So if you have been doing and holding things out to read then maybe look at vari-focals. I don't know or have affiliations with any opticians so you will need to do your own research. : ) I do however know a lot about business connectivity! So if anyone out there is in the market for new or upgrading dedicated Internet, site to site or multi site connectivity or Cloud / Unified Comms - hit me up! PS what do you think of the frames?
