Movember 2016

It's that time of year again, Movember is nearly upon us, and men and ladies all over UK Bus will be supporting our company charity

                             PROSTATE CANCER UK.

Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends face a health crisis that isn’t being talked about.  Men are dying too young.  This is our company charity tackling men’s health on a global scale, year round. Today, we are addressing some of the biggest health issues faced by men; prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention.

In the last 13 years they have funded more than 1,200 men’s health projects around the world.

By 2030 they aim to reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25% and we can help with this by being aware.

A smile costs nothing

As this week is customer service week I thought that smiling would be a good subject for discussion. Tim O'Toole asked how to get 110,000 people to simply generate a smile, we all have the power to make that happen.  It is a well known fact that frowning causes more wrinkles than smiling and we all want to fend of wrinkles! What would you prefer to see a frown or a smile at the start or end of your day? Communication can sometimes lose its way in modern society and we often take the little things, like a smile, for granted.  after all, a smile offers politeness and a good level of customer service.  It tells our customers we are striving to deliver good and friendly service.

Research suggests that smiling, forced or not, can have a positive effect, reduce stress levels, and make everyone around you feel better. Happy days!

 Smiling is an easy way to boost your mood, be healthier, feel better, and help us to be viewed as more approachable. Whenever you’re in a stressful situation or are feeling down, put a grin on your face so you can take advantage of the many benefits it brings.

I have to admit, I am a smiler which many who work with me may have noticed. I must confess that my wife has told me to wipe my smile off of my face, several times.  For example, when I accidentally cut through the internet connection or the time when I was painting the kitchen table and fell back, cracking her oven door. But, I cannot help but smile.
