Exercise – An awesome jazz class – there’s no better high! Or a HIIT class – quick and hardcore!

Fact – Women who exercise moderately (3-5 hrs/week at an average pace) after a breast cancer diagnosis have approx. 40-50% lower risks of breast cancer recurrence, or death from breast cancer compared to sedentary women.

Fiction – Most recently, the Avengers Marvel series. My friend and I binge-watched all the movies before End Game came out, and needless to say I was hooked from day one.

Focus Areas for June

Each week via our Team Meetings and Roundtables, we discuss what the biggest areas are which we’re going to focus on and improve as a company. This month we looked at:

Speeding up our client’s access to HRV monitors. After experiencing some shipping delays we decided we needed to come up with a better way to get these awesome devices into the hands of our clients quicker.
Communicating. One of Specialised Health’s biggest points of difference is how we communicate and update other parties about progress being achieved in our programs. We know that our communication helps Insurers and Rehab Providers immensely in their actions on claims so we need to stay true to our promise and communicate often and well.
Providing value. We’re focusing on truly providing value with all of our programs and making sure that clients are not funnelled through a production line. We asked ourselves “If we were paying for this service, are we getting out of it what we would expect?

That’s all from us, happy accounting this EOFY!!
