Voting: It’s More Professional Than You Might Think Talking about our rights is every bit as professional as discussing business strategy. Why? Because the policies that shape our workplaces—from labor laws and healthcare to equity and inclusion initiatives—are directly influenced by our elected officials. Our daily work lives don’t just stay at work. They follow us home, impacting our personal well-being, our families, and our communities. When we vote, we’re not only advocating for change in our society—we’re setting the stage for what’s possible in our workplaces and beyond. Voting is our chance to support candidates and initiatives that prioritize worker rights, mental health resources, and diverse, inclusive environments. So yes, voting is professional‼️ It’s how we ensure our values align with the policies that govern our daily work lives, which in turn affect our personal lives. Will you be voting? Will you choose to use your voice to build better workplaces and stronger communities. It’s a choice that many fought and died for you to have. #vote #leadership #mentalhealth

⚖️ How does Justice fit into the workplace? As we reintroduce ourselves this month, we want to emphasize our commitment to justice as one of our core values. We believe that all people should get the dignity, respect, and fairness they deserve, and that we must work to eliminate discrimination, bias, and disparity everywhere. To support this, we’re sharing an insightful resource article by Michael Nathanson, CEO of Focus Financial Partners, titled "A CLEAR Approach To Ensuring Workplace Justice" from the Chief Executive magazine. 🔦 This article resonates deeply with our mission, as it highlights how organizations can implement justice into their everyday operations by fostering a CLEAR culture -- one of Candor, Learning, Empathy, Awareness, and Respect. 🔗 Read more about creating a CLEAR culture to ensure workplace justice here: https://lnkd.in/gpQXksq2
