Diaverum's Lindfield Dialysis Clinic has always enjoyed a strong, stable and committed group of employees. We aim to build and maintain strong interpersonal relationships and rostering allows for flexibility and encourages a healthy work/home life balance. Personal confidence, job satisfaction and productivity are all increased when a team is supported and happy in the workplace. We are always looking for occasions when we can come together as a group, enjoy each others company and enable active communication which is often difficult in a busy workplace. An idea was born when Dragonsabreast were planning a Corporate/Community Dragonboat Challenge in Darling Harbour during October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month.Dragonsabreast offers the opportunity to get fit and have a lot of fun with those who have also travelled the journey with breast cancer.
Lindfield employees and patients took to this challenge with great enthusiasm and quickly put together a team of 22. The $2000 entry fee was raised selling chocolates, keyrings and gaining sponsorship. The Mavericks team provided training on Sundays to enable all team members to attend.
The result was an experience everyone described as awesome, an even stronger team and some employees and patients who have decided to continue the sport. The bonus was the pleasure in being able to contribute to the wonderful organisation of Dragonsabreast.
