Workplace Wellbeing
Workplace Wellbeing is something we take very seriously. After all, the health and wellbeing of our staff is core to ensuring we continue to provide quality supports to our clients.
Each year we survey the wellbeing of our staff to gauge their level of satisfaction, how they are feeling generally, where improvements can be made, and if they feel heard and valued. In addition, we have an open door policy, supported by actively mentoring and supervising support teams on an ongoing basis.
Our Staff Wellbeing Progam outlines our vision, purpose, goals and objectives for our staff across five pillars: Psychological; Physical; Social; Environmental; and Financial. We have a well established Employment Assistance Program (EAP) and Rehabilitation and Return to Work (RRTW) framework to support our staff in times of need.
Training
We believe ongoing training and professional development for staff is key to them feeling confident in performing their duties and to continue to provide quality supports that meets the needs of clients.
New staff undertake an online and in person induction program, buddy shifts, and general check-in’s. Staff are also required to complete annual refreshers and have access to a plethora of training programs via our dedicated online training platform.
To ensure training is taken seriously, we have a dedicated training budget for staff to attend short courses on subjects of mutual benefit to clients and staff.
We are always on the lookout for appropriate training and encourage staff and clients to let us know when something will be beneficial to the support arrangement.
