At Lending Association, everything we achieve starts with our people, together. RU OK? Day was a timely reminder that behind every deal, strategy, and milestone, it’s the strength of our community that truly matters.
This year, all of our offices came together for a special seminar led by our People and Culture Manager, Layla Tilley. The focus was on the newly launched Employee Assistance Program (EAP), a confidential service designed to give every team member a safe place to seek support, guidance and resources when they need it most. Importantly, the program ensures anonymity, so our people can feel empowered to reach out without hesitation. The seminar not only explained how the EAP works, but also reinforced a powerful message: none of us are ever alone in facing challenges. Whether it’s work-related pressures, personal concerns, or simply needing someone to talk to, our community is built on care, trust, and connection.
To mark the occasion, each office also hosted a morning tea, complete with delicious cookies and treats. These gatherings created a warm and welcoming space where our teams could connect, share a conversation and enjoy a pause in the day, reinforcing that RU OK? Day is as much about community as it is about awareness.
