As we navigate through the challenges of our industry, let's remember that asking, "R U OK?" is just the beginning. It's important to know there is more to ask and say after "R U OK." Engaging in a genuine conversation where we listen, encourage action, and check in again can add depth to our support. This approach helps in creating an environment where people feel truly supported and understood. These moments and conversations are crucial.
Improving mental health awareness and equipping our people with the tools to have these conversations is a focus for Star Group and over the past twelve months we’ve had 72 team members complete mental health first aid training including senior management.
On this RUOK Day, we are proud to see employees from our sites and offices come together to show their support. The photos below capture the essence of our Star Group community - one that is built on the foundation of think safe, act safe, home safe, passion, collaboration, creativity, and trust.
Let's continue to support each other, not just today, but every day, because a simple question can lead to a conversation that changes a life.
