Who is Employment Office?
Employment Office are recruitment marketing specialists. We are not a recruitment agency - our team provides tailored recruitment solutions that bridge the gap between the expensive agency model and time-consuming DIY recruitment. Our intelligent approach utilises the latest technology to attract the best possible candidates for a role. Employment Office charges per campaign as opposed to per hire, resulting in significant savings for the client.
As a 50% joint venture with Flight Centre Limited, we are proud of our unique company culture and were ranked #27 by BRW’s Greatest Places to Work 2011 and #1 for training. With over 12 years in the recruitment industry, our innovative service offering has led to unbridled growth and success; we have offices in Brisbane, Melbourne, Vancouver and Toronto, with plans for more office openings in the future.
Why Tour de Office?
Our entrepreneurial directors, Tudor Marsden-Huggins and Susanne Mather are dedicated to giving back to the community whilst also strengthening Employment Office’s core belief in a healthy work-life balance. Tour De Office was the brainchild of Tudor, an avid cyclist, who aims to promote the benefits of regular exercise in the workplace to help manage stress and benefit employee health and well-being.
What is Tour de Office?
Tour De Office is an office cycling challenge where organisations compete against each other to ride the longest distance and raise the most funds for their chosen charity. This is a unique event focused on promoting a healthy and active attitude in the workplace which is great for team building and employee morale.
Employment Office successfully ran this event in 2011 (branded as Sore Bums), raising over $20,000 and riding 2000kms in 2 weeks. We had 100+ riders participate over the duration of the event, including a number of celebrity riders including radio host Jamie Dunn, Channel 7 presenter Liz Cantor and TV Chef Dom Rizzo. This year we are spreading the word, inviting other organisations to get involved and promote a healthy and active lifestyle in their workplace.
Anyone can participate in this fun and exciting event. A number of stationary bikes will be set up in offices across Australia and the entire event will be streamed live via webcam to www.tourdeoffice.com so friends, family, colleagues and sponsors can watch.
