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! For more information on staffing or assistance in finding work, call NORTEC on 1800 667 832 or visit www.nortecltd.com.au 2 5 The Pillars of Workplace Happiness: 1. Look for meaning in your job. Typically it is there, you just might not see it. Are you merely a bricklayer or are you building a hospital? 2. Search and volunteer for jobs and tasks that use your talents and those that you find engage you. 3. Set goals that you find are meaningful. Celebrate (and reward yourself) for achieving those goals and for career accomplishments. 4. Work hard to develop good interpersonal relationships on the job. Put energy into those relationships, in the same way that you would put energy into a friendship. 5. Try to focus on the positives. Be optimistic. Wear a smile (you will be surprised at how this will both make you happy and improve the moods of those around you). When it comes down to it we are all responsible for not just our own but for others happiness in the workplace. Be kind, mindful and look out for others in your workplace while focussing on your career objectives.
