#strongertogether: rising to the challenges of the pandemic

What started with a simple word became a global movement in 2021. Many colleagues were inspired by the solidarity and support which included video messages from Mondi leaders, expert session talks related to mental wellbeing and ways to cope during the pandemic, local initiatives and sharing of personal stories.

The initial focus was on how our colleagues rose to the challenges of the pandemic, providing essential goods in many cases. This contributed directly to the MAP2030 commitment of providing purposeful employment. In 2021, the focus shifted to wellbeing as the pandemic restrictions remained in place.

Intranet communication on aspects of mental health and wellbeing, including sessions led by the specialists from the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), achieved high levels of engagement and contributed directly to our decision to set a MAP2030 target to support employees in having a work-life experience that enhances wellbeing.
