Today we celebrated R U OK? Day at Orchard Talent Group over a shared lunch. We spoke about how we can confidently check in with each other and what internal and external support can be offered when someone is not ok.

Everyone goes through stressful times, and ongoing stress can impact both your personal life and work life. It is important to look out for each other and ask the question “Are you Okay?”, as sometimes a conversation can change a life. We at Orchard Talent Group are all about support, and encourage everyone to listen and check in on one another if we notice someone is not their usual self.

For more information and tips on how to approach this type of conversation, please visit the R U OK ? website in the comments section.
