Heroes of COVID-19

It is humbling to see our devoted team working together to ensure our wonderful participants are supported during this time.

At Rural Lifestyle Options Australia we have a true appreciation for the efforts staff make and pride ourselves on recognising those who go the extra mile for our participants and colleagues.

Earlier in the month, we introduced the ‘Heroes of COVID-19’ Special Award as a small gesture of gratitude for those who had demonstrated exceptional practice throughout this period. In order to be acknowledged, staff have been asked to nominate their peers by sending a confidential email to our Chief Executive Officer, Michelle Latailakepa.

The response from our staff has been overwhelming and we are pleased to announce that we have recognised the first seven team members to receive this coveted award. In addition to a certificate, recipients have also received a $50 RLOA Gift Card, which can be used at all major retailers.

Over the coming weeks, we will recognising more ‘Heroes of COVID-19’ within the organisation, as the challenging coronavirus situation continues to unfold. To our wonderful team, thank you again for all that you do.
