Competitive Advantage
Our belief is that we are headed into an era where leadership, professionalism and 'work' are full of heart, courage, vulnerability, grace, generosity, curiosity, resilience, acceptance. The era is colourful. It's empathetic. It's tender. It's fluid. And it is awake. In the words of Dan Pink: 'Companies are finally realising that we're full fledged human beings, not single minded economic robots'.
SPIRITUAL CARE
You've heard the statement often enough. Mind. Body. Spirit. But why is our spiritual connection to self, just so important? When spiritual needs are recognised and responded to as an integral part of person-centred care an essential contribution is made to people's health and wellbeing.
Wellbeing is a state of balance or alignment in body, mind and spirit. In this state we feel content; connected to purpose, aligned with our personal values system, people and community; peaceful and energised; resilient and safe. In short we are flourishing. We are able to bring our whole selves to work and are more productive for it.

HEATHCARE
Women have higher levels of chronic disease and poorer mental health linked to sexism, violence and chronically poor incomes. Women experience gender discrimination in healthcare which can result in delayed access to care, misdiagnosis, and neglect. There is also a predisposition to medicalise the trauma and retraumatisation women and other vulnerable populations are subjected. Harm results in a reaction. Usually that reaction is a cry for help to stop the harm.

FINANCIAL SERVICES
Women do not enjoy the same access to financial services as men. Even before the pandemic, fifty-six per cent of all those without a bank account were women - meaning that nearly a billion women are unbanked. There is also a gender protection gap, with fewer women using insurance than men. Source: ILO In Australia, Workers Compensation and Superannuation Products such as TPD and Income Protection all intersect with each other during claims assessment, often causing acute unnecessary moral distress.
