At NORTEC, we
acknowledge the
value of work in
creating a healthy,
vibrant community.
That’s why we
strive to create
opportunities and
inspire futures for
our local jobseekers
by truly listening
to understand
and seeking real
solutions for
both jobseekers
and employers
in our region.
We offer a range of recruitment services,
including commercial labour hire and Australian
Government funded no-fee recruitment services.
Our Disability Employment Services division are
a special team at NORTEC who assist persons
with a disability into meaningful employment.
Usually it only takes a few minor modifications
(which we can assist with) to enable jobseekers
to work happily and reap the benefits that work
can bring, not just financially but emotionally
and physically – and their employer reaps the
benefit of a loyal employee!

or assistance in finding work, call

8

Reasons Work
is Good For You

1. Brain Matter: According to Buchholz,
“A life of … staring endlessly at the surf
with a pina colada will confound and
frustrate the frontal lobe.” A good career,
on the other hand, keeps your brain in
forward motion
2. Live Longer: We often want to go back
to simpler times. However, back when
we may not have had the internet, our
life expectancy was only 45.
3. Dopamine: A hormone that makes
you feel good and is triggered by
conquering challenges – work offers
plenty of those opportunities!
4. Competition leads to Innovation:
Competition in the marketplace has
led to some amazing discoveries and
creativities, without it progress is
stagnant.
5. Cooperation: a sense of unity with your
co-workers when working towards a
common goal creates feelings of unity.
6. Stress can be good: Mastering your
stress is far better than no stress at all,
which would only reduce your drive and
energy.
7. Social Outlet: Social interaction is
critical for a person’s happiness and
sense of self worth and work provides
regular interaction with others.
8. And the obvious? You make money!
They say money can’t buy you
happiness but it sure can sort out a lot
of things that can make you happy!
