As we wrap up for the year, we want to inform you that Viva Engage will be taking a break from this afternoon, returning after the close down - as per last year.
The platform will be unavailable during this time to allow all colleagues a chance to disconnect, recharge, and enjoy the festive period. Recent news and updates will continue to be published on the Staff Intranet.
We look forward to returning in the new year. Wishing you all a safe and restful break!
