Ask R U OK? Any Day

Every day, HR and recruitment professionals are the unsung champions of workplace wellbeing. As the key drivers behind shaping a positive company culture, they’re on the front lines, supporting employees through life’s challenges while ensuring that teams remain cohesive and productive. R U OK? Day is a reminder of how pivotal these roles are – it’s not just about asking the question, but fostering an environment where individuals feel safe to answer it honestly. HR and recruitment leads understand that drawing out a genuine response requires more than simply asking – it’s about creating a space where employees feel heard. They do this by building trust over time, showing that they’re approachable and willing to listen without judgement. It’s in the way they maintain eye contact, pause to give the individual room to open up, and convey through their body language and tone that the conversation is a priority. By consistently following up and offering continued support, they demonstrate that the question "R U OK?" isn’t just a one-time gesture, but a genuine commitment to their people’s wellbeing.
