Managing employee mental health – digital event
This 3-hour digital event is based on our popular face to face training. It has been tailored specifically to help you support employee mental health issues during these unprecedented times. Through guidance, discussion and activities, this interactive event will provide you with the skills and knowledge you need to confidently manage good employee mental health, both remotely and in the workplace.
Business need
The coronavirus pandemic is affecting all our lives and has presented extra challenges for those with existing mental health problems. According to the Mental Health Foundation, one in six employees experience mental ill health each year. The Centre for Mental Health has estimated that in the UK, at least half a million more people will experience a mental health difficulty over the next year. Research recently conducted by Bupa UK has confirmed an increase in mental health issues, with people more reluctant to seek help during the current climate. Managers may have an understanding of mental health, yet may be hesitant to address it, through fear of saying the wrong thing or making matters worse. However, early intervention is crucial in ensuring the individual can access the support they need to keep themselves at work and working well. This not only benefits the individual, but their team and the business. Delivered via Zoom, this event will outline the different mental ill health conditions and help you recognise the signs and symptoms. You will also learn how to engage effectively with employees at an early stage, have constructive conversations and gain an awareness of the range of practical support available for individuals. Following the event, delegates will receive a comprehensive manual which includes further advice and guidance.
All delegates will receive an electronic certificate of attendance for their participation in the training.Suitable For

Investigations in the workplace are held to clarify and establish the facts of a case and help employers reach a decision. For example, whether there are grounds to uphold a grievance, call a disciplinary hearing or dismiss a member of staff.
Workplace investigations should be conducted fairly. Employers could be held liable if a poor investigation leads to an unfair dismissal claim.
Delivered via Zoom, this event will provide you with key techniques, procedures and checklists to help ensure that you are considering all the crucial facts and that you undertake the process in a fair and unbiased manner.
You will also gain valuable understanding of what the law requires and learn key investigation skills, such as analysis and report writing.

Two Hour Tuesday Networking (Virtual Networking)
This popular monthly networking event will now take place online to allow businesses to network and create connections in a digital space.
Join Norfolk Chambers of Commerce for an online networking session to replace this the physical event of Two Hour Tuesday in King’s Lynn. We believe networking is key during difficult times to help with mental health, continuation of business and access to help and advice from peers. Enjoy from the comfort of your own home with no early starts or commute and make sure to make a coffee and bring a smile to this online video meeting.
What’s the format? We will be using Zoom to facilitate this virtual meeting of businesses. It will be introduced by Harry Harris from Swarm Apprenticeships, Paul Ward from Solace Coaching and Nicole Risby from Norfolk Chambers of Commerce. We will then ‘Go Round The Screen’ allowing a one minute for each business to highlight anything of importance.
Who’s it for? Business owners, managers, entrepreneurs, start-ups, young businesses and anyone who wants to connect and engage with other businesses in King’s Lynn and West Norfolk. Newbies are always welcome, whether it’s to our group or to networking in general.
Can I find out more? If you’d like to talk at one of our events, please get in touch with Nicole Risby we are always looking for new speakers.
Guest Speaker:
Harry Seaton from Fluential will be joining us tomorrow as our guest speaker. He will be talking about using TikTok and different social media platforms.
Nothing’s normal at the moment. In fact, things are so strange you may have even downloaded TikTok. But what do you do next? And what about all the other social platforms? Should they be dropped in favour of this new shiny one? I’ll clear up a few misconceptions and show you where you can get the most value out of your existing community and new ones too, on social media, all from your front room.

Consultation on the New Anglia LEP Investment Strategy
The Government has announced that Norfolk and Suffolk will receive around £80m (€94.5m) of European funding for the period 2014-20. This includes ERDF and ESF funding with local funding under the European rural programmes to be confirmed at a later date. We need you to help shape how we prioritise investment of future EU Funds in Norfolk and Suffolk..
As part of this process, we are holding four workshop events in late July to invite you to contribute to the process. At these events, we will be introducing the opportunity, prioritising where we should be targeting EU funding and starting to talk about potential projects.
The morning events in both locations are primarily targeted at an audience of stakeholders with a particular interest in the business support, innovation and low carbon agenda.
In the afternoons, we are focusing more on organisations with an interest in the skills, employment and social inclusion agenda. However, to ensure a rounded debate, each event will have the opportunity to explore all of the EU funding thematic objectives, so delegates will not be disadvantaged if they cannot attend their first choice session.
Events will be held on the following dates and you can book online by following the relevant link:
Monday 22nd July, 9.30am – 12.30pm at the Keystone Innovation Centre, Thetford, Norfolk IP24 1JD

Chamber Workshops – Coaching your Team and why it Works
Coaching has become the buzzword. There’s usually a reason for that because it works! We employ people because they have the skills to do the job and then micromanage them and wonder why they get disaffected and leave. Coaching recognises that people have the answers within themselves. This results in happier people and happier workplaces (and more productive too)!
The workshop will cover the following:
- What coaching is
- Why you should take this approach – why your business should take a coaching approach
- Why you should take this approach NOW – why your business should take a coaching approach NOW (ie in a post-COVID-19 world)
- Why it works in business (as well as at home with the children)!
- The power of coaching and a strengths-based approach
- Who benefits from having a coach
- Some coaching techniques and tools to get started
