At IPA, Synaco by Synergie and S&you Australia, our business is all about connecting with people, which is why we actively support initiatives like R U OK? as part of our safety efforts nationwide. We believe in the importance of asking "Are you OK?" and making it a regular part of our interactions, so we can help those around us find the support they need before small problems become bigger ones. Yesterday we gathered together, working as one team across three brands for R U OK? Day, for a fun and meaningful Kahoot quiz, focusing on mental health and the importance of checking in with those around us. It was a fantastic way to get our teams collaborating, sharing laughs, and supporting one another— all while donning something yellow to mark the day! #RUOKDay #MentalHealthMatters #StayConnected

Today, we join the nation in acknowledging R U OK? Day, as today is a reminder of the mental and often hidden challenges many people face and how a small conversation can make a big difference. At IPA by Synergie, we understand the importance of in-person interaction with our clients and candidates, that’s why we prioritise and value the relationships we have with our people. This creates a working environment that promotes regular check ins, chats, and meaningful conversations. Learn more about R U OK? here: http://www.ruok.org.au Ask the question to someone you know today. #RUOKAnyDay #RUOKDay2024

Last week, our Cairns team had the pleasure of attending the Cairns Youth & Career Expo 2024, hosted by Cairns Business Liaison Association. With over 4,000 students from years 10-12 in attendance, and with over 120 education and career providers there, the team had a busy day networking with exhibitors and offering senior students valuable career advice, helping them think about what they want to do after finishing school. Thank you to Business Liaison Association for hosting a great event, and well done to our own Simone Howe and Ann Granger for representing IPA and for the stellar job at decorating our stall! 👏 #CareersExpo #CareerAdvice
