Gaining knowledge in areas we wouldn't usually be involved in at work helps us to understand these areas better and become more involved in these areas when we face them at work
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
Sometimes, but not very often. I was lucky enough to play football at Stamford Bridge through an event organised by a Wates charity
