As part of Operam's commitment to Mental Heath Awareness Week, we’ve invited members of our team to share their personal experiences and reflections through a series of blogs this month. These stories are honest, heartfelt, and a powerful reminder that no one has to navigate life’s challenges alone. We hope they bring comfort, connection, and encouragement to anyone who needs it.
Prioritising Men's Mental Health
We had rushed to the hospital – my wife and me. It was a routine pregnancy check as she was in her last trimester. I thought nothing of the process until we got hit with the news that the baby had to be delivered that same day due to a serious complication. To make matters worse, I was told that both my wife and the baby were experiencing heart rate issues with a 70% chance I could lose them both unless delivery done through surgery. How do you handle news like this? Fast forward…my wife and the baby survived but complications persisted for her. I went into an entirely new place I had never been before – both mentally, and emotionally.

AI in Recruitment: Game-Changer or Just a Passing Trend? AI is everywhere right now! From the content we consume to the way we shop, work, and even date. So it’s no surprise that recruitment hasn’t been left out of the AI revolution. There’s been a huge increase in the number of AI add-ons available and some of them really do look impressive! Clare has spent a lot of time learning about these new initiatives and wanted to share her thoughts and continue the conversation.
