R U OK?

Life’s ups and downs happen to all of us. People can experience things like relationship breakdowns, financial difficulties, health issues or periods of major change at work, home or in life.

The people in your world won’t always tell you if something’s troubling them, so it’s important that you make asking, ‘are you OK?’ a part of your everyday relationships with friends, family, teammates and colleagues.

The earlier you give someone an opportunity to open up to you, the sooner they can find appropriate support or, if needed, professional help and the greater the chance that together, you can stop small problems from becoming bigger ones.

This is also a timely reminder that we have our EAP that can be accessed by all team members and their families.  Converge EAP is your coaching and counselling service providing confidential and personalised support for home and work. When using the service, you can speak with a qualified counsellor specifically selected to best support your issue.  You can find posters in your store with details on how to access the EAP but should you need any assistance with access, you can reach out for support from your Manager or Narelle, Dan & Rachel in People & Culture.

Ask R U OK? because a conversation could change a life.
