APS Bank and Richmond Foundation have launched the first in a series of webinars focused on mental health wellbeing for members of the APS Occupational Pension Scheme.

The first webinar, ‘Mental Health at Work: Simple Strategies for Business Success’, took place on 24 March 2025. Donald Buhagiar, Human Resources Manager, from Richmond Foundation discussed how employee wellbeing contributes to business success and shared practical strategies to enhance organisational wellbeing and engagement.

By partnering with Richmond Foundation, we are providing valuable mental health resources that help members maintain a healthy work-life balance.”

Alongside retirement benefits, members of the APS Occupational Pension Scheme also have access to free mental health awareness sessions, an annual dental check-up or eye vision test, and gym incentives.
