    Reminder – Wellbeing Resources

    With the current news cycle and unrest across the country, we recognise that colleagues may be affected. We want to take a moment to remind everyone about the Museum’s wellbeing resources, as well as kindly asking that we all look out for each other as we would at any other time.

    Resources include:

    • A team of Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAs) to provide support to colleagues who are experiencing poor mental wellbeing or just need someone to talk to. You can find out more about who the Museum’s MHFAs are in this intranet article.
    • The Perkbox benefits portal, which includes a wellness hub with resources including webinars, videos, blogs and music which promotes wellbeing, health and happiness.
    • The Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), which is a free 24/7 confidential helpline with trained consultants to listen, advise, and support you with any worries. You can access EAP via Perkbox ‘Perks’ on the Perkbox app or by calling 0800 756 0861 and quoting ‘Perkbox’ and ‘Black Country Living Museum. If you would like to have access to Perkbox and/or would like to find more about it, please contact People & Culture by emailing [email protected].
  • Perkbox – Cost of living support

    In these difficult times we want to extend an invitation for you to have access to the Museum’s Perkbox benefits portal. Through the portal you can access savings on purchases that you are already having to make as part of normal life.

    -As an example, it allows you to make point of sale savings on weekly shops with some larger supermarket chains.

    -It also offers opportunities to access for ‘free’ a range of wellbeing benefits at discounted rates.

    -The objective of the portal is not to encourage you to spend, but for this to be a reference point of possible savings/discounts on purchases you were already planning on making.

    -Additionally the Portal gives access to a range of health benefits as well access to the Museum Employee Assistance Scheme (EAP).

    If you would like to have access to Perkbox and/or want to find out more about it, I will be holding surgeries on the following days. If these do not work for you, please email me on: [email protected].
