People First – Mental Health and Wellbeing
Consult Australia’s People First award recognises a business for delivering an outstanding initiative that has benefitted their people. Our commitment to support the mental health and wellbeing of our people is fundamental to how we operate. Mental illness affects one in five Australians and is the biggest safety issue facing our industry.
Tonkin has developed a mental health program to build the resilience of our people. This program, which includes education and workplace design to support mental health and wellbeing, is founded in our ‘It’s ok to ask for help’ culture. What was striking about the success of this program, was not only the positive impact it has had on our people but our productivity and our performance for our clients.
Since 2017, Tonkin has expanded into new markets and regions. Despite rapid growth and major change, our people feel more empowered, supported, and confident about the organisation’s future than ever before.
Medium Firm of the Year
Tonkin also took home the award for Medium Firm of the Year. This is the second year in a row that Tonkin has been honoured with the award, and our third victory in the category over the past four years.
