October 2019 – Enable Professional Services

Perth Running Festival and the Smith Family

Our Enable Professional Services Perth team completed this year Perth Running Festival on Sunday 6th October.

Right now, in labs in Perth, hundreds of scientists are working towards the next medical breakthrough.

Supporting this event allows the Harry Perkins Foundation to plan for big goals, like making cancer non-lethal, discovering disease genes that give families answers they so desperately need and finding treatments for heart disease. It supports brilliant minds at work with the best interests of your family and loved ones at heart. And provides researchers with stability and security so that they can focus solely on lifesaving research.

The breakthroughs Perkins researchers are making in the labs will lead to potential cures. Without research, there are no new treatments, no advances in medicine, no chance of finding that one thing that will stop a disease in its tracks.

Enable, through it’s Corporate & Social Responsibility program, raised some much-needed funds for the Harry Perkins Foundation, Since 1998, the Perkins has grown to become one of the nation’s leading adult medical research centres, where a close-knit teams of more than 450 research and trial staff work together to defeat the major diseases that impact our community.

If you missed the event, you can still help by visiting https://lnkd.in/gyCH4zQ.

Finishing on the hallowed turf and shown on the big screen. A great day out and for such a good cause.

Our team including Darren Everett, Graham Strydom, Nino Gonzales, and supported by Swity Patal (and her baby bump) aimed to help raise awareness for the amazing work The Harry Perkins Foundation are embarking on.

Thanks to the Perth team, our customers and all who contributed to fundraising or supporting on the day.

Great Big Thank You – The Smith Family

October 3, 2019
by Nicole Bailey

We are really proud of the CSR initiatives we get behind here at Enable, and none more so that The Smith Family.

At Enable, we are focused on investing in a child’s education, helping them break the cycle of disadvantage. That’s why Enable partners with The Smith Family.

By giving young Australians the extra support they need to fully participate in their education, we can prevent them from experiencing a lifetime of poverty. We love working with The Smith Family towards our shared vision of a better future for young Australians in need.

This year we were invited to attend the “Great Big Thank You” event, where The Smith Family celebrate the organisations that support them throughout the year. Organisations just like Enable Professional Service.

The Smith Family like to show their supporters how their generosity and support makes a lasting difference to the lives of young Australians living in disadvantage. Because of the support, these little heroes can realise their potential and create better futures for themselves.

Our Perth Enabler Darren Everett attended, Joined The Smith Family CEO, Dr Lisa O’Brien, and Smith Family ambassador and 2019 Australian of the Year, Dr Craig Challen SC OAM. Craig was part of the international team that helped rescue 12 boys and their soccer coach from a flooded cave in Thailand in 2018.

Darren left feeling inspired by the event even saying, “WOW, what an inspiring event. Youth are our most valuable resource, and we need to nurture them. It’s our job to break the cycle and make sure they are successful, I couldn’t be prouder of the support that Enable are able to provide to the next generation.”

At Enable, we are simply proud that the company we have created, proud that we can provide opportunities for individuals to do things they have never done before.

Meet Jai, he is a Brisbane based ServiceNow Senior Technical Consultant and spent 2 weeks in India last month.

During his 1 week Noida and 1 week Bangalore, Jai conducted best practice sessions with Enable graduates and taught about customer success management for all technical consultants.

Jai also taught the team about our new methodology, The Enable Ways for Projects and highlighted the new process of communication and project success. He spent time walking team members though how to take ownership of their careers and provided a comprehensive understanding of the Australian teams and their methods for delivering projects.

One initiative we have at Enable is a program called One Dream | One Team, we aspire to ensure that all team members feel included, heard and seen. One way to achieve this outcome is that we encourage all meetings to be conducted face to face and where appropriate via Microsoft teams video, where staff can see each other and get to know their colleagues, wherever they are placed geographically.

Jai is happily part of our One Dream | One Team Touring initiative, the program providing our Enablers with the chance to share their own experiences and teach colleagues along the way.

The team in India were so pleased to welcome Jai and look forward to more Enablers visiting in the near future.
