10 Tips to Manage your Stress Levels

Otto Simon takes the mental health and wellbeing of our employees very seriously and this April, as part of Stress Awareness Month, Otto Simon is helping to raise awareness of the causes and cures for stress and poor mental health.


This poster, designed by Mental Health First Aid England provides 10 tips to manage stress levels, and has been circulated around Otto Simon’s offices. 

We encourage everyone to prioritise their mental health. Our supervisors and managers have been provided with information and resources that allow them to help and advise people with mental health issues and encourages them in how they can make a difference and support Otto Simon’s drive for positive mental health at work.



Both physical and mental health and safety are core values for Otto Simon. We prioritise health and safety in the workplace and never compromise on the safety of our workforce or the public. We believe that Health & Safety at work is a fundamental right. 28th April marks International Workers' Memorial Day 2023, a day when we remember those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice as a consequence of their work – whether that be accident or ill health – and to encourage use to learn from the past to prevent its recurrence in the present and future.

Well, another year is winding down, and what a year it’s been! Here at Otto Simon, we decided to celebrate all the hard work and dedication of our fantastic team with an evening of festive fun, delicious food, and a touch of wanderlust! A huge, heartfelt thank you goes out to Anna for orchestrating what was a truly splendid Christmas gathering. From the atmospheric lighting to the perfectly planned tapas, Anna, you outdid yourself. Our merry band descended upon Trunk Lounge in Bramhall, and it was fantastic to see such a great turnout, proving that even after a busy year, we still love spending time together! Now, every good story has a new chapter, and for one of our own, that chapter involves packing a very large suitcase! We had the pleasure of raising a glass (or several!) to Chris and his partner Lydia, who are embarking on an incredible year-long adventure, travelling the globe, we are not jealous at all. From all of us at Otto Simon, we wish Chris and Lydia the very best of luck on their incredible journey. We are all sure looking forward to reliving your amazing memories with you upon your return. We would like to end the year with sincere thanks to our Clients, Partners and Staff for all their efforts over the past year and are looking forward to another busy and rewarding year in 2026. Here's to a wonderful Christmas break for everyone, and a prosperous, exciting New Year!
