Hour of Empowerment

WHAT IS HOUR OF EMPOWERMENT?

1 hour per week to be used as you see fit to recognise the extras that can be part of your role and is aimed to help you look after your physical and mental wellness. This hour needs to be taken in agreement with your leader and rostered at least 24hours prior, at a time that fullfills our Flexibility guiding principles. These hours will not accrue and cannot be accumulated to be used as days off.

Understandably change does happen in our business, so let’s work together to make sure the time does meet all of our guiding principles. Ie. If someone calls in sick, workload changes this time may need to be rescheduled. Hope this helps you find a little more balance in your life.
