Back in December, a talk on Ergonomics at Work was held at the Taylor Smith House Canteen to raise awareness on the importance of physical and mental wellbeing in the workplace. The session was facilitated by Julie Staub, a chiropractor and high-performance athlete, who shared practical and easy-to-apply tools to improve posture, physical comfort, mental clarity, and energy management during the workday.
Participants explored the main causes of chronic pain at work, particularly fatigue and posture-related issues, and learned how to correct posture effectively while sitting, standing, and using screens or mobile devices. Simple routines to boost energy, concentration, and daily comfort were also introduced, along with practical ways to better manage physical and mental strain at work.
Back in November, Taylor Smith Boatyard held a deeply moving Adult Literacy Recognition Ceremony to honour six employees who successfully completed a three-month learning journey that went far beyond the classroom. This programme represented courage, determination, and a strong desire for self-improvement.
Surrounded by their families, whose pride and support were deeply felt, the graduates were celebrated for their commitment and resilience. The presence of Mrs. Valerie, their dedicated trainer, added a meaningful touch as she stood beside them after months of patient guidance. The ceremony was enriched by heartfelt témoignages, sharing personal stories, challenges, and achievements, creating moments of reflection, gratitude, and tears of joy. It was a powerful reminder of how education can truly change lives.
