LGT EMPLOYEE WELLBEING STRATEGY

At a recent meeting the Senior Leadership Team endorsed the Lady Gowrie Tasmania (LGT) Employee Wellbeing Strategy.  LGT truly values all employees and is committed to providing a safe, healthy, respectful and harmonious working environment that is inclusive for all.

The LGT Employee Wellbeing Vision is to strive to actively look for opportunities to support your overall wellbeing to aide you to live healthy, happy lives and provide support to flourish in a culturally safe environment.

Within the workplace, LGT is aware that our feelings of wellbeing at work are influenced by our day-to-day experiences, how purposeful and safe we feel at work, the work that we do and our relationships with colleagues and with management.

The LGT Employee Wellbeing Strategy identifies four priority areas in which to focus and explore initiatives within the workplace to support its Employee Wellbeing Vision:

  1.  Values and Purpose
  2.  Leadership and Management
  3.  Person Focussed Supportive Culture
  4.  Safe, Respectful and Fair Working Conditions

These priority areas are informed in part by employee feedback including the Employee Wellbeing Survey. They will be supported by an Action Plan and an Employee Wellbeing calendar of initiatives/events.

A Plan is currently being finalised that will support the roll out of the LGT Employee Wellbeing Strategy, including a Calendar of initiatives/events to all LGT employees and everyone can expect to hear regularly about our plans.

I would like to acknowledge and thank everyone for their input into the development of our LGT Employee Wellbeing Plan through our survey last year. Plans of this nature are not commonplace in many workplaces, and this is an exciting time for us all and worthy of celebration.

WINTER WELLBEING TIPS

Although we are still enjoying some mild weather daylight savings has now ended, the days are shorter, mornings are crisp, there is a chill in the air and winter will be here before we know it. Some of us will be thinking about hearty winter soups, bringing out the winter woollies and taking steps to reduce our risk of catching some of those illnesses the winter is known for. 

We all might take different approaches to keeping ourselves warm and well throughout the winter months. One method known to be effective is having an influenza vaccination. LGT employees are able to access an influenza vaccination for free. If you are yet to book your free vaccination, please follow the link here and book before 31st July, 2025. 

Rug up, keep warm, pull out the winter recipes, enjoy the season and don’t forget to notice the glimmers!
