Heroes of COVID-19

Today, Rural Lifestyle Options Australia acknowledged seven team members as 'Heroes of COVID-19' with all recipients receiving a certificate acknowledging exceptional practice and a $50 RLOA Gift Card which can be used at all major retailers. A total of 28 staff members have now received this award which was created as a small gesture of gratitude for those who had demonstrated exceptional practice throughout this period. We plan on continuing to recognise more ‘Heroes of COVID-19’ within the organisation, as the coronavirus situation continues to develop. Congratulations to our latest recipients and keep up the good work!

Action for Happiness Calendar (May 2020)

Every month, our People and Culture Division share with staff an Action for Happiness Calendar to promote good health and wellbeing among our workforce.

As an organisation, we are going to continue to share these Calendars once a month, to help us look after ourselves and each other, as we face this global crisis together.

It’s a good reminder to "Start Where You Are. Use What You Have. Do What You Can" - Arthur Ashe. #ActionForHappiness
