Cool Company To Work For #17: Quiksilver

Jun 7, 2014

Quiksilver, Inc. is the world’s leading outdoor sports lifestyle company, designing, producing and distributing a diversified mix of branded apparel, winter sports and golf equipment, footwear, accessories and related products. The Company’s apparel and footwear brands represent a casual lifestyle for young-minded people that connect with its board-riding culture and heritage, while its winter sports and golf brands symbolise a long-standing commitment to technical expertise and competitive success on the mountains and on the links.

Authenticity, innovation, pride, confidence and a belief in limitless potential have been the foundations in Quiksilver becoming the largest and most prestigious clothing and apparel company in the action outdoor sports industry.

The groovy sport and surf retailer Quiksilver walks its talk with its workforce. As a retailer promoting an active lifestyle to its buyers, it also promotes a similar ethos to its employees.

Lunchtime surfing and snow trips are a given and helped by the company’s most recent initiative in the form of The Boardroom – a library of boards of all shapes and sizes available for any team member to use before or after work or during lunchtime.

Quiksilver also sponsor some of the biggest sporting events in the world, so there’s always the perk of the opportunity to get to go to these.

The Trials are now over for many students… so what happens next..!?!
For many Year 12 students, this is when the post-Trials slump kicks in.
After months of assessments, revision and exam pressure, the intensity suddenly drops. Graduation is around the corner, the HSC still feels a little way away, and motivation can disappear fast.
But Trials are not the finish line. They’re the dress rehearsal and they have just given you incredibly valuable information about where marks are being lost and where to focus your energy before the real HSC exams begin.
In our latest blog, we share our 5 tips for getting out of the post-Trials slump and finishing your HSC strong:
1️⃣ Take a short, intentional break - Recover and reset, but give your break an end date.
2️⃣ Turn your Trial results into a game plan - Use your results and feedback to identify exactly where you can improve.
3️⃣ Don’t wait to “feel motivated” - Reconnect with your goals and start taking small actions. Action creates momentum. Momentum creates motivation.
4️⃣ Move from studying to exam training - Past papers. Timed responses. Essays. Feedback. Corrections. Make your mistakes now, not in the HSC exam room.
5️⃣ Use the support around you - The HSC CoWorks Teachers, Coaches, HSC Markers and subject experts can provide the structure, accountability and feedback you need through the final stretch.
There is still plenty of opportunity between Trials and the HSC to improve.
