For SydWest and its priority on employee health and wellbeing, RUOK Day is an important opportunity to share important information and encouragement regarding mental health. All staff are reminded of the opportunity to ask RUOK of their colleagues, family and friends and to know that suppor...t and resources are available to assist them with the difficult conversations that may ensue. Wearing yellow on RUOK Day was a great opportunity for staff to have informal discussions on the importance of RUOK Day, as well as spend a little time together for a group photo.
