CK Rewind – May Edition
May was a month full of 4-day weeks, royal celebrations, and all things busy here at CK. From podcasts to new business units to a few too many cupcakes, lets rewind on the last 4 weeks at CustomerKNECT.
Business Activity
We kicked the month off with yet another collaboration with Canon, this time a ‘Print Matters’ podcast with Jacky Hobson and our Finance & Commercial Director Neil, to discuss finding and keeping printing talent. Neil dived into the struggles of finding and retaining talent in today’s business, sharing the benefits that really matter to employees, and why supporting colleagues at the start of their career can leave such a lasting impact. You can listen to the podcast now on Spotify: https://lnkd.in/d2ADtBcw !

Our Colleagues & Community
May was Mental Health Awareness Month with the w/c 15th being the official awareness week, here at CK we pride ourselves on raising awareness and supporting causes close to our hearts. We partnered up with The Mental Health Foundation to raise awareness in the work place on this year’s topic anxiety; anxiety is a common feeling that sometimes gets out of control and effects a person’s life day to day, it is one of the most common mental health problems we can face.
The Mental Health Foundation work to increase people’s awareness and understanding of anxiety and other mental health issues by providing information on causes, symptoms, prevention and helplines you can access to receive more tailored support.
To support the charity further, CK hosted its own ‘Wear it Green Day’ where our colleagues wore green to support the Mental Health Foundation, along with some green cupcakes and a day of fundraising – which resulted in us raising an incredible £192!!
Check out our socials for more on our fundraising day!
As always, the last month at CK has been jam packed as we continue to develop our capabilities and connect with our colleagues and community to deliver excellence! Stay tuned for the next edition of CK rewind as we continue to improve our service offerings, expand our team, and build relationships with new clientele to become the industry leader for customer communications.
