Peta Panos, TIO chief executive officer, says that the industry is facing a serious shortage of qualified candidates and that the wellness programme was just one way TIO was affirming its position in the market as an employer of choice.  “The wellness programme is our way of providing employees with a means to discuss their problems confidentially with qualified and experienced councillors.  We also seek to provide our people with more benefits as a way of saying thank you for dedication and loyalty,” she says.

TIO employees were treated to a wellness day on 1 November at TIO’s offices, showcasing the many benefits available to them through the new programme.
