Your best work starts with you
In accounting, we’re in the business of looking after others: clients, teams, businesses, deadlines, and problems that need solving. But in a profession that asks a lot of its people, it’s just as important to create the space to look after ourselves.
That’s why members of the Squeeze team recently joined the Sydney Women in Accounting Network for its Hormones & Health event with Dr Engrid Manougian, exploring the connection between our health, wellbeing and how we show up in our careers. And it reinforced something we believe strongly at Squeeze: great performance and great wellbeing should go hand in hand.
Building careers that are sustainable
Professional services can be demanding. There will always be deadlines, busy periods and moments when teams need to pull together. But building a great career shouldn’t mean consistently putting yourself last.
At Squeeze, we’re thinking about the kind of environment we want to create as we grow. One where people are supported to perform at their best, but also encouraged to look after the things that allow them to keep doing that. Their health. Their energy. Their development. Their relationships. And their life outside of work.
Sustainable high performance isn’t about asking people to give more and more. It’s about creating the conditions that allow great people to keep doing great work.
Investing in the whole person
For us, investing in our people goes beyond remuneration or career progression. It’s also about creating opportunities to learn, connecting our people with broader industry communities and making space for conversations that haven’t always happened openly in professional workplaces.
Events like this matter because they broaden the conversation about what a successful career can look like. And when our people have opportunities to learn more about themselves, build stronger networks and feel supported both professionally and personally, everyone benefits.
Unleash your best self
One of our values at Squeeze is Unleash Your Best Self. That doesn’t mean being switched on every minute of every day. It means having the support, confidence, opportunity and environment to bring your best when it matters.
We’re continuing to learn what that looks like as Squeeze grows, and we’re proud to support our people in conversations that help make our profession a healthier, more inclusive and more sustainable place to build a career.
A big thank you to the Sydney Women in Accounting Network and Institute of Public Accountants for creating the space for an important conversation. And congratulations to our own Nicole Ravenscroft for making the day even better by taking home the lucky door prize.
Because your best work starts with you. Protect your energy. Bring the juice.
