Further, we believe that continuously improving our culture makes a real difference to the careers and work environment of our people, and our ultimate goal is to deliver a great workplace where our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.version1.com\/careers\/\">core values<\/a> are truly visible throughout everything we do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE VERSION 1 \u2018MY WELLBEING\u2019 MODEL <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Version 1 is a Great Place to Work but not an Easy Place to Work<\/em>\u201d. This quote captures the realistic, fast and hard-working environment that we work in at Version 1. While there are many rewards for hard work, including being part of a strong culture with a positive atmosphere and lots of opportunities for growth and development, it also comes with its challenges. Therefore, to promote sustainable and consistent high performance we recognise the importance of prioritising our employee\u2019s health, as our employees are our greatest asset. We accept responsibility to provide the resources to support our employees\u2019 health, while our employees must commit to meeting us half way and availing of the resources we provide. This means our employees must prioritise their health, while we will do our best to support them where we can.The 5 pillars of our holistic Wellbeing model include Sense of Purpose, Financial Management, Physical Health, Mental Wellbeing and Social Connections.\u00a0 Each segment of the wheel is explained in more detail below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.version1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/My-Wellbeing-Table.png\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sense of Purpose:<\/strong> Having a sense of purpose and being motivated to engage in meaningful work is a key aspect of an individual\u2019s wellbeing.
