There, we have done it. We have only gone and said the “C” word and it is only mid-October (sorry, not sorry). But for many businesses, now is a good time to get plans in place to enjoy a productive Christmas at work, as well as a happy Christmas at home. For some businesses Christmas is a super busy time, whilst for others it goes quiet. Every company is different, so make sure you focus on what is important for your business. Here are five areas to look at to ensure Christmas goes to plan: https://lnkd.in/eGncdi4q #HR #HRDept #Christmas #Workplace #Wellbeing #Management #Leadership

As we reflect on yesterday's Thanksgiving celebration, it's worth noting the enduring significance of this quintessential American holiday. Originating in 1621 with a shared celebration between Pilgrims and Native Americans, Thanksgiving has evolved into a national day of gratitude that unites Americans across diverse backgrounds. This non-denominational holiday provides a valuable opportunity for reflection, allowing us to pause our busy lives and reconnect with family and friends. It serves as a reminder of the importance of expressing appreciation, both in our personal and professional spheres. As we return to our work environments, let's consider how we can incorporate the spirit of Thanksgiving into our professional practices. Gratitude can be a powerful tool for team building, employee engagement, and overall workplace satisfaction. Looking ahead, Thanksgiving 2025 is scheduled for Thursday, November 27th. As business leaders, how can we foster a culture of gratitude and appreciation in our organizations throughout the year? #Thanksgiving #ProfessionalDevelopment #CorporateCulture #Gratitude #Leadership #Riverwalk #RiverwalkCommunity #OfficeLife #CommercialRealEstate #WorkplaceWellness #TenantExperience #SupportEachOther #GreatPlaceToWork #WorkplaceWellbeing #CorporateResponsibility #CommunityManager #PropertyManagement #Tenants #Citywest #JLLIreland #JLL #Bartra #CitywestBusinessCampus

For employees the festive season can be a double-edged sword. 🏖️⚖️ It’s a time for rest but also there’s heightened stress in the lead-up. 😓 Here’s how employers can ensure the break is truly restorative. 🛌✨ #EmployeeWellbeing #HolidaySeasonTips #TalentRetention #Leadership #WorkplaceSuccess https://lnkd.in/gAU6vy4V

As we enter the holiday season, I’d like to discuss the fact that company parties don’t substitite for culture work. I enjoyed parties at a former company — having fun with my toxic boss. Celebrating with my gossip-culture coworkers… Fun doesn’t = functional. It’s fine to have holiday parties - to celebrate and have fun, just don’t blow all your “employee engagement” budget on it. If you want a *healthy, high-performance* culture, then what employees really need are tools & training to thrive at work, wellbeing-centered policies and skills like boundary setting, having tough conversations, leadership development, etc. In short, invest in people over parties 🎉 #culturechange

🌸☕️🥗🍕🌞🎳 Flowers, coffee, lunch, time off, company outings. I certainly welcome and applaud the invitation and efforts to offer intentional appreciation to the most valuable and important resource a company/organization has - it's employees; however, much like the other singular holidays (Valentines, Mothers and Fathers Day,) this outward declaration of appreciation must not be reserved for this one day. Let today be the beginning. Celebrate employees, colleagues, leaders in a generous way today and engage a plan that reiterates this important message consistently. Employee appreciation is necessary throughout the year, not just for a day. Invest in yourself people - be consistent in providing appreciation, reiterate the message of today's gestures. I have ideas. Let's talk. #employeeappreciationday #investinyourpeople #employeeretention #intentionalleadership #consistency #wholelifecoaching #youchoose

Let’s raise a glass to two celebrations today. Firstly, hope you all have an incredible St David’s Day🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😁 Secondly, today is Employee Appreciation Day. Authentic appreciation demonstrated for those executing pieces of work for you is seen to pay dividends time after time. It’s fair to say that folk work to earn a living, that’ll make them turn up. If you are looking to foster a culture where people are happy to be there, motivated to perform well and contribute with discretionary efforts, then showing genuine care without ulterior motive is an essential ingredient……. How much authentic appreciation exists within your organisation? #appreciation #authenticleadership #culture #coaching #workforceengagement #stdavidsday #wales #motivation #mentalhealth

As we rapidly approach the holiday season, employees' prepare for the busiest time of the year for their personal lives. How can leaders help keep employees engaged over the holiday season? 1️⃣ Set Clear Expectations:
Proactively communicate deadlines and time-off policies to ensure everyone’s aligned. 2️⃣ Thoughtful Celebrations:
Embrace the festive spirit without adding stress. Consider casual in-office events like a cookie contest or hosting your holiday party in January. 3️⃣ Show Tangible Gratitude:
Pair bonuses with personalized notes to recognize each employee’s unique contributions. #WorkplaceCulture #HolidaySeason #EmployeeWellbeing #Leadership #Q4 #CompanyCulture #TalentAcquisition

Today is Employee Appreciation Day. While some companies celebrate this one day a year, we work to create a culture where employees feel appreciated daily. Why? We are humans, not cogs in the machine. Why not provide value to the team you get value from?

The focus on our team makes Cook Wealth a place people want to work, which means our expert wealth advisors can be at their best for our clients.

What does a good manager look like? That was the first manager track session at #Thresholdlive2024 in New Orleans in general session with attendees from all the Threshold Brands Tony Mohorn put on a dynamic agenda with a panel of 5 managers from 3 brands across Canada and USA. I was honored to be selected for this panel and group discussion alongside 4 other accomplished leaders. We discussed a lot of subjects across 90 minutes including a mid session breakout session with direct questions from leaders from multiple brands. I talked a lot about leading people with purpose and passion, and teaching values through lived experience. I related my history as a worker across many industries and struggling for opportunities. I discussed the value in solidarity and building trust through consistency and retention by understanding. I discussed finding purpose in how and why we do what we do. I clean gutters, but I'm proud of the work I do for workers. I'm proud of the work I do for people and the communities we serve. I clean windows, but as a leader I brought about increases in production and pay along with it. I brought about a 4 day (32hrs) workweek without a loss of pay. I've championed volunteerism and work in our communities, and I've worked to break down barriers to employment. There's meaning in how I work. Men In Kilts MaidPro USA Insulation
