Narrogin’s The Remedy Physio + Pilates recognised for dedication to team culture at Wheatbelt Business Awards

Narrogin’s The Remedy Physio + Pilates was recognised for its dedication to fostering team engagement and workplace culture at the Wheatbelt Business Excellence Awards last month. Business owners from across the Wheatbelt gathered for the annual awards ceremony at the Cummins Theatre in Merredin on October 22. Narrogin-based business owner Rhiannon Mouritz took home the Nationals WA — Team Engagement and Workplace Culture award for her dedication to her Remedy Physio + Pilates team. Bruce Rock’s Paynes Pest Control was awarded both the Caroline Robinson Start Up Business and joint Digit Business Advisors Entrepreneur of the Year awards. The top Business of the Year Award went to Quairading Farmers Co-op, selected from the 10 award winners on the night. Ms Mouritz founded The Remedy Physio + Pilates in 2020, and has since expanded to Kulin, offering more than 35 reformer pilates classes per week and physiotherapy consults. She said it was an honour to be recognised. “To be alongside businesses like Crisp Wireless that I know are significantly developed and other very entrepreneurial and business-minded people was really great,” she said. “It was really cool to be in the same room and recognised on the same calibre as some of the business owners who have great entrepreneurship and innovation. “There was a lot of people that were there who I would aspire to be like in the future in regards to their business mindset, their endeavours and how they run a business.” Ms Mouritz said one of her main focuses as a business owner was empowering her staff members to achieve their goals. “My real passion is helping people develop their careers, especially a lot of the women we have hired and recruited. It’s about giving them the skills, confidence and empowering them to know they can do great things in their life,” she said. “I sincerely believe as a business owner that I am absolutely nothing without my team but I think unfortunately in a lot of businesses and workplaces, the team is seen as people who need to do what the business owner wants. “My job is to support my team, their job is to support the clients and the clients will go on to support the business, which supports me. My highest priority is making sure they can achieve what they need to achieve within work and outside of work.” More than 30 businesses were named finalists for the awards, including Pingelly Transport, CRISP Wireless, Bruce Rock Cafe and Strange Images.
