Rudding Park, a privately-owned hotel and event venue in Harrogate, is promoting positive mental health in the workplace with the introduction of a CBD Meetings Experience.
The way people and businesses work has changed in recent years. Flexible working has removed structured working patterns and smart devices mean that we are ‘on call’ 24/7. This means that wellness in the workplace can’t be ignored.
The CBD Meetings Experience forms part of the new ‘Create Better Days with events at Rudding Park’ initiative, where the meeting organiser, delegates and employer can all reap rewards.
The initiative aims to ensure meeting organisers save time completing unnecessary paperwork and with no contract to sign, there is less financial commitment.
As dietary requirements become more prevalent, delegates can now choose their personal preferences on the day. It also offers greater flexibility surrounding the timings to alleviate stress for the organiser.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring constituent found in the cannabis plant. It is reported to help reduce anxiety and support positive mental health, improve relaxation, reduce pain, stiffness and reduce physical inflammation.
The itinerary includes:

Hendrik Le Roux, Rudding Park business development manager said: “As an employer, Rudding Park takes wellness in the workplace seriously and is very much a part of its culture. Due to its many health benefits, CBD is a relatively new trend taking the wellness world by storm. We always look for innovative ways to enhance our guest experience and felt there was an opportunity to incorporate CBD into the business environment, allowing delegates who may being feeling stressed to benefit.”
