April marks the start of Stress Awareness Month, a time to focus on how we can manage stress, support one another, and create a healthy balance at work. We know that roles in the port industry can be both physically and mentally demanding, which makes looking after yourself and each other even more important.
At Portico, we’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels supported, valued, and empowered. Watch the video with our General Manager, Lewis, to learn more about the wellbeing support we offer our staff.
Top Tips to Reduce Stress at Work
Sometimes the smallest changes to your day can make the biggest difference in looking after your wellbeing. Here are some simple, practical tips to support yourself:
- Take regular breaks – even short pauses can help you reset and recharge.
- Talk to someone – whether it’s a colleague, friend, or manager, you don’t have to handle things alone.
- Find moments of calm – a few minutes of breathing, stretching, or stepping away can make a big difference.
- Look out for each other – small check-ins with colleagues can go a long way.
- Keep a healthy balance – rest and recovery are just as important as the work itself.
Remember - you don’t have to do it alone, and support is always available if you need it. Get in touch with your line manager or access our online resources for help and guidance.
