Kat Reid - turning the negative of redundancy to a positive by starting a wellbeing consultancy
On today's episode my guest is Kat Reid who spent ten years working in recruitment before two successive redundancies and the prospect of having to enter the job market during COVID made her think about her career options.
Having been someone who has suffered with anxiety and mental health, a conversation with her friend, and now business partner, sparked the idea of turning a negative situation into a positive one, and so Throman Reid was created. A HR and Wellbeing consultancy based in Manchester that works with businesses to equip them with the tools to focus on prevention and not simply intervention.
Kat is very candid and honest about her own mental health struggles and it is inspiring to hear her talk about how this amazing business has been created to not only create better workplaces but educate business owners that improved wellbeing has a directly positive impact on the bottom line.
I hope you all enjoy this really insightful chat with Kat.
