Welcome to the latest issue of Aviva Illuminate, the newsletter that brings you topical news, views and updates on important health and wellbeing issues.

We’re well into 2022 now and hopefully will be seeing more signs of Spring emerging over coming weeks. Recent changes to the government COVID-19 guidance mean that more people will be starting to return to the workplace.

It is Time to Talk Day on Thursday 3 February, which is the nation’s biggest mental health conversation – a day that friends, families, communities, and workplaces come together to talk, listen and change lives. See below for some helpful guides for you and your clients on helping ease anxiety about the return to work.

Scroll down to find out about more of our news and recent updates, including the launch of BacktoBetterDigital and functionality added to the Broker Portal.

Help with returning to work

With recent changes in mind, we have updated our mental health guides, specifically offering helpful guidance about anxiety when returning to work. We have also included an overview of some recent line manager training, which offers hints and tips on how to ease the situation.
