We’re Taking Part in National Workplace Wellbeing Day 2026

Be Independent Home Care has officially signed up for Ibec's National Workplace Wellbeing Day, taking place on Wednesday, 29 April 2026. This year's theme is belonging, and it's one that means a lot to us, both for our clients and for our team.

National Workplace Wellbeing Day is Ireland’s largest annual day dedicated to workplace health and
wellness, run by Ibec through their KeepWell programme. Hundreds of organisations across the country take part each year, and we wanted to make sure Be Independent was among them.

What we have planned

We’re not just putting our name on the list. We’ve got a proper week of activities lined up for our team:

Team E-Cookbook

Staff sharing their favourite healthy recipes in a digital cookbook

Best Recipe Competition

Friendly rivalry to find the tastiest dish on the team

Two Wellness Webinars

Management hosting two sessions on workplace wellbeing

Team Lunch

A sit-down lunch together on 29 April to mark the day

Lunchtime Walks

Getting out of the office and moving during the week

Breakfast Mornings

Starting the day right with team breakfasts in our offices

Why this matters to us
Homecare is demanding work. Our carers are out in the community every day, often working on their own, supporting people to stay in their homes. That takes physical stamina and emotional resilience. If we’re asking our team to look after others, we need to be looking after them too.

Be Independent Home Care is an official registered participant of National Workplace Wellbeing Day 2026, run by Ibec. Find out more at www.wellbeingday.ie

Get involved on socials

We’ll be sharing what we get up to across our social media channels throughout the week. If you want to follow along, or if you’re taking part in your own workplace, use the official hashtag so we can all see what everyone’s doing:

We’re looking forward to the 29th, and to everything we’ve got planned in the run-up. If you’re a member of our team reading this, get your recipes in for the cookbook. And if you’re someone thinking about a career in homecare, this is the kind of workplace you’d be joining.
