Committed to Employee Health and Well-Being

One of the key organisational goals of CVCheck has been ensuring the welfare of employees, of which nearly 50% are women who also constitute a major portion of the workforce at CVCheck’s extensive network of clients, stakeholders and partners in the Australian and New Zealand recruitment, talent acquisition and HR industries.

From 2^nd to 6^th September 2019, the company celebrated Women’s Health Week in Melbourne, an initiative of the Jean Hailes Foundation, a national NGO, dedicated to providing world-class health services to women, encouraging them to improve their health and wellbeing at various stages of life.

How women at CVCheck look after their health? Many of them walk, run outdoors, meditate, dance and also play golf which is great for both the mind and body.

How CVCheck leads by example? CVCheck’s management is of the view that a company cannot be productive without its employees enjoying a healthy work-life balance. For example, CVCheck’s CEO, Rod Sherwood likes to spend many of his weekends in the South West, exploring the spectacular forests, surfing and riding skateboard.

Likewise, CVCheck’s CCO, Andrew Maffett loves the water and spends his weekends sailing and kayaking in the natural environment. In addition to physical wellbeing, CVCheck considers mental health equally important.

CVCheck’s Marketing specialist, Jenny Shaw keeps herself fit by participating in marathon, biking and jogging to work. Moreover, she also likes to keep her mind fit too.

Women Mentoring Women

According to a research from the Peterson Institute, more women in the C-suite is directly proportional to increased profitability for the company and also having at least 30% women in leadership roles can boost net profit margin by 6%. Another study by Bain & Company suggested that commitment to gender equality aids employee engagement and higher corporate growth rates. It is essential to have female leaders in the company, more so since only around 6.4% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women and less than 1/4^th of senior management roles are held by women globally. Also, women mentoring women is a critical step towards maintaining gender diversity and equality in the workplace.

Female-to-female mentorships help women advance in their careers and instils confidence. It is also a great way of putting things in a different perspective as everyone needs someone to bounce ideas off. Women mentoring other women in business also creates more growth opportunities in general, and helps women get through different career cycles.
