Global Recycling Day     Have you ever considered the impact of your waste?     Recycling is essential for a sustainable circular economy, helping to protect our natural resources. Each year, the 'Seventh Resource'—referring to recyclable materials—helps avoid over 700 million tonnes of CO2 emissions, with projections suggesting this could reach 1 billion tonnes by 2030. This highlights the importance of recycling in our efforts to create a sustainable future for our planet and its inhabitants.   At Leading Talent, we strive to contribute positively to the environment and maintain our carbon-neutral status. As a remote company, we encourage our team members to find ways to enhance their recycling practices.   #GlobalRecyclingDay #Enviroment #CarbonNeutral

Safer Internet Day This year's theme is 'Too good to be true? Protecting yourself and others from scams online' We've all encountered emails, texts, or pop-up messages urging us to click a link, often pretending to be from our bank or announcing that we've won a prize. Scams come in various shapes and sizes, aiming to deceive anyone. The goal of this year's campaign is to reveal the tactics and strategies employed by scammers. As a remote company, ensuring internet safety involves making sure that our employees utilize robust passwords, enable multi-factor authentication, keep their software up to date. Additionally, it's important to establish comprehensive security policies that cover data access, encryption, and incident response strategies to safeguard sensitive information across different locations.   Significant efforts are underway to increase awareness about these issues, addressing questions like: - How evolving technologies, such as generative AI, will influence scammers' tactics? - How is the government and the internet industry in combating this threat? _ What changes young people wish to see to better safeguard themselves in the future? #InternetSafe #Protect #Safeguard #Awaresness

Time to Talk Day Today is dedicated to raising awareness and initiating discussions about mental health.  There’s no single correct way to approach this topic; starting with questions and actively listening can create a safe space for someone to share their feelings and experiences. It can be tough to watch a loved one struggle and the path to managing or recovering from mental health challenges can be lengthy. Treat everyone equally; when someone confides in you, they don’t seek special treatment, just your support and understanding. Above all, practice patience, as some individuals may not be ready to open up, no matter how much encouragement you provide. Do you know someone who might be struggling?
