Winter wellness at Ash Air

The health and well-being of our people are vital to us, which is why we set very ambitious standards for workplace safety. We promote a healthy and active lifestyle and encourage a healthy work-life balance. Coming into winter, its more important than ever to make sure our team are feeling well!

Wellbeing is a sustainable state of feeling good and functioning well in our lives and in our work. Achieving this requires a sense of wellbeing physically, mentally, socially, and purposefully (i.e., investing time and energy in things that truly motivate).

One way of understanding wellbeing is how well you are able to THRIVE โ€“ feel positive emotions, function well in your team(s), develop personally and professionally, respond to challenges, and make meaning in your personal and work life โ€” even as things change.
