Christmas Closedown
Break Thru offices are closed from the last working day
before Christmas to the first working

giving all
employees a break. This is a minimum shutdown
period and employees are also

well earned time with family and friends.
A Safe & Supportive Workplace
Break Thru are committed to ensuring a safe and
healthy environment for employees, clients and
visitors.
We encourage cooperation to safeguard our people
and others in the workplace in areas
of risk control,
hazard prevention, accident prevention, health
preservation and fire protection.
Break Thru's OH & S
program relates to a wide range of variables that all
work together to keep our
employees physically
and psychologically safe and well.
We recognise that employees are our most valuable
resource and as such, we are
committed to providing
benefits that contribute to the well being of employee
members.
The quality of a employee member's
working life is influenced by factors both at work and
outside the workplace, such as anxiety related to
interpersonal conflicts or work adjustment issues,
family / relationship issues, grief and loss. Break Thru's
Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is provided by
Drake Workwise and is a short term
counselling service aimed at assisting employees
to deal with personal issues affecting their ability to
function at work. Sessions are free to the
employee and
provided off the worksite by professionally
qualified
psychologists.
