Come on Duncan Russell, send us a selfie!

I shed some tears this morning when I heard that the teenage daughter of my business associate passed away after her lifelong illness. The immense pain that he, his wife and his other children will be feeling is unthinkable and it is so hard to have the right words to say, or to know how to help. I wanted to share here that I am glad we gave him membership to pirkx. It's the simplest thing - an online subscription for only $6 a month which someone can buy for themselves or can be provided to employees and contractors. It takes only minutes to join. Now my friend and his family members can get phone or telehealth counselling as soon as this afternoon, and they can keep the same counsellor for their 6 sessions. In due course, they may call about another issue and then they can have 6 sessions about that too. We may not have the right words in life's hardest situations, but affordable and fast access to quality counselling is available to everyone. https://www.pirkx.com.au/

A powerful story from spoken from the heart, and also a great reminder that sometimes the person you’re speaking to is being brave when they’re fighting private battles. Affordable support and good friends are everything. #pirkx

We at pirkx are really proud to be able to make affordable and fun wellbeing on demand benefits available to everyone for only $6 a month. Its a great time to save thousands. #wellbeing #pirkx #pirkxaustralia

I love that feeling!

I will always believe that when a workplace does its best to support people both in their worklife and in their personal journey as well, this will always be appreciated and respected and will pay off in spades. #respect #mentalhealthsupport #thegreatresignation

The Great Resignation is gathering steam. Employers are under pressure to support the wellbeing of their exhausted teams to avoid losing experienced people. A step change is required to make working more flexible and to make sure that effective wellbeing programs are in place. #wellbeing #greatresignation #pirkxaustralia #pirkx https://lnkd.in/gTbNhdW7

“If there’s one thing COVID has taught us, it’s that wellbeing is no luxury.” The struggle is big for many of us right now, but it’s never been easier or more affordable to have a workplace wellbeing program that covers all of your workers, even if they’re contractors or self employed.

“Female founders got 1p out of every £1 of venture capital investment, while mixed gender teams got 10p and all-male founders received the lion's share at 89p.” Some helpful tips shared in this article, including from our founder and CEO Stella Smith, alongside some frankly depressing experiences of bias.
