Not only are BOQ Noosa proud supporters of the local Noosa community, they are also passionate about advocating for the health and wellbeing of the men and women in their branch.
This Men’s Health Week, the BOQ Noosa team is placing a strong emphasis on mental and physical wellbeing of their team.
“I consider that our focus on our team’s health and wellbeing is extremely important to being a successful business, as it ensures that our team are healthy and happy in their work and personal lives,” owner-manager Rod Pertot said.
The BOQ Noosa team is highly invested in breaking down the barriers to support and promoting awareness of key health challenges faced by men all year round.
Lending manager Tim Sipp said, “It is refreshing in our modern fast paced world that our employer provides an environment that embraces mental health and personal wellbeing in the workplace.
“Our frequent catch ups and formal programs and visual aids ensure we are all thinking about ourselves and others in our work and home life to achieve the best possible balance and happiness in life.“
BOQ Noosa’s commitment to the mental and physical wellbeing of their team members starts with their weekly Wellness Wednesday initiative. This initiative recognises the importance of mental health, especially as it can be difficult for men to prioritise themselves when they are often busy with work and their families.
On Wellness Wednesdays, the team is encouraged to spend an extra hour before work doing something they love, like grabbing a coffee, spending quality time with their families or taking their dogs for a walk.
Once a month, the team is also joined by an organisational psychologist, who conducts a Flourishing Teams session, where they focus on cultivating important work/life skills.
“Our team finds these sessions extremely beneficial to their personal and work lives and they often implement these skills in their everyday lives to assist them with their own health and wellbeing,“ Rod said.
To further support men’s health in their community, BOQ Noosa actively supports the Noosa Prostate Association through their annual awareness and fundraising lunch.
This association promotes awareness, regular testing, early diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, whilst also raising funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.
The team’s contributions to the branch and the wider Noosa community, truly embody the spirit of Noosa and exemplifies BOQ’s commitment to their customers’ success.
