This week, two of our team – Expr3ssors! – seized the day and got on radio in Sydney and in Adelaide.
We love to tell our Expr3ss! story and when and if an opportunity presents itself, we simply jump to it!
Stuck in Sydney traffic during the tempestuous storms and squalls, “Andy of North Sydney” – our national sales manager, Andy Lester – called the Nova969 Breakfast team, Fitzy & Wippa and, next thing, he’s on the air – captured in this snippet:

The topic… great work environments… Fitzy & Wippa were quoting research by a psychologist which showed that productivity improves when you’re in a happy workplace.
Andy revealed our workplace secret weapons which include: stand-up, sit-down desks; a weekly yoga session; monthly massages; days off for birthdays; and a bar fridge!
Needless to say, Fitzy & Wippa picked up on the bar fridge idea and we all laughed out loud at Andy’s line: “we down tools for downward dog and are head-down, bum-up on a Wednesday!” … Ch33rs, Andy!

Elsewhere, in Adelaide, our co-founder Dr Glyn Brokensha, doctor, psychotherapist and the brains behind our Expr3ss! Checklist, was called upon for commentary by Sonya Feldhoff, the host of ABC891 Adelaide’s afternoon show.
The topic: “Behind every successful person there is a supportive partner.”
Sonya’s chat with Glyn was inspired by this SMH article about the Washington University’s research The Long Reach of One’s Spouse :

Glyn gave insights into the psychology behind supportive partnering and how the people in your life, on your team, or at workplace need to be motivated to have your best interests at heart. Having those closest to you wanting you to function at your best, benefits everyone. Sometimes that requires a challenging and robust conversation… at other times, supportive words and actions to cheer you on for peak performance.
Here at Expr3ss! we say that behind every successful, functioning team and business there are motivated supportive people… and you always know who they are too!
Using Expr3ss! Checklist reports pinpoints people that are prepared to take on those robust conversations, do like to collaborate and support others and do so even before they join the team. These are the people who share similar drives to those already successful in role and the determination to see them through to success. The secrets of productive teams and getting ahead, revealed by Expr3ss!
… Ch33rs!
