Things have gotten a little bit spooky around blueAPACHE HQ today! 🎃 With a skeleton crew offering extra support, our morning tea featured some fang-tastic treats (no tricks… yet!), and we even had a surprise sighting of Snow White! From ghostly decor to Franken-friends lurking around, it’s safe to say the Halloween spirit has haunted our halls. Work is all about having fun and sharing a laugh, and today’s festivities are just the treat we needed! Wishing everyone a frightfully fun Halloween from #teamboo!  #teamblue #ThisisIT #kickaaS #emPOWER #HalloweenAtWork #SpookySeason Chris M.

Today, 12 September 2024, is R U OK? Day—a powerful reminder to connect with the people around us. At blueAPACHE, we understand the importance of creating a workplace where everyone feels connected and valued. Building a culture where people are comfortable speaking up is key to fostering strong team connections and enhancing overall wellbeing. That’s why we’re joining thousands of others in highlighting the significance of asking R U OK?. Today serves as a reminder of how much a simple question can mean to those who might need support. To assist in these conversations, we’re sharing a video on the ALEC model—a 4-step guide to Ask R U OK?, Listen, Encourage action, and Check in. Tomorrow, we’re hosting a morning tea to continue the conversation and provide our team with an opportunity to connect and support one another in a relaxed setting. Let’s use today as a reminder of the difference a simple question can make and commit to keeping these conversations going every day.
