Happy Hippo’s Post

Does your organization or company host a family day? Yesterday, Feed More hosted our first family day at our new building. Company family days can offer numerous benefits for both employees and the organization as a whole. Here are some key advantages: 1. Family days provide an opportunity for employees and their families to interact in a relaxed setting, fostering stronger relationships among colleagues. 2. Participating in fun activities together can enhance camaraderie and teamwork, leading to better collaboration in the workplace. 3. Employees often feel appreciated when their families are included in company events, boosting morale and job satisfaction. 4. Hosting a family day signals that the company values work-life balance, which can lead to increased loyalty and retention. 5. Family days allow employees to meet and connect with each other’s families, creating a broader network of relationships that could benefit the workplace. 6. These events can effectively communicate the company's values and culture, helping to attract and retain talent. 7. Happy employees are generally more productive. Family days can contribute to a positive work environment that enhances overall productivity. 8. Engaging families can create a sense of community within the company, making employees feel more connected and engaged. 9. Family days offer a break from the usual work routine, allowing employees to unwind and have fun, which can reduce stress. 10. Informal settings allow for open conversations, giving management insights into employee sentiments and areas for improvement. A company family day can be a valuable investment in employee well-being and organizational culture. In the nonprofit world, the results are the same. My oldest joined me for some Jamaican street food, games, and a tour. Tammy Cummings, Lauren Bolyard, and the team help create the atmosphere where this is possible.

I took my team for an offsite visit and I must say, the energy it brings and the bond it creates, stays in our hearts. Offsite visits aren't just about scenery; they're about energy and stronger bonds. Here's why I believe in them: New Perspectives: Being somewhere different sparks new ideas. During our offsite visit, we came up with ideas we never thought of in the office. Nature's Boost: Being outside makes us feel good. My team felt happier and more excited when we were outdoors during our offsite trip. Breaking Barriers: Offsites make everyone equal. We worked better together and talked more openly when we were away from the office. Building Trust: Trust is important. Offsite activities help us trust each other more. Fueling Passion: Offsites make us excited. We all felt more alive when we did things we loved as a team. Memorable Moments: Offsite memories stick with us. The fun times we had will always bring us closer together. Taking my team on an offsite adventure was worth it. The energy and bond we gained will help us face challenges together. Here's to more adventures! #TeamBuilding #OffsiteAdventures #BondingTime #LeadershipDevelopment

Today, we are highlighting Amaya Barrios, Assistant Manager at Magnolia Terrace for #HispanicHeritageMonth ✨What does your heritage mean to you, and how has it shaped your personal or professional life? Hispanic heritage is everything for me. It is a reflection of what my family stands for and what I believe in. It's community, pride, unity, and strength and ultimately, it’s what has led me to be the best version of myself both at home and at work. ✨What aspects of your culture are you most proud of, and how do you incorporate them into your daily life or work? Aspects of my culture that I am most proud of include family traditions, cultural traditions, resilience, creativity, and hard work. By integrating these aspects into daily personal and professional routines, I feel as though I can enrich my life and contribute positively to my environment, embracing my heritage while making meaningful impacts. ✨What advice would you give to the next generation of Hispanic professionals? Embrace your identity, pursue continuous learning, and build a strong network of mentors, peers, and industry leaders. Always seek out and create opportunities to learn and grow - do not wait for opportunities to come to you, be prepared to advocate for your own achievements and ambitions while also supporting and uplifting others around you, and strive for a healthy balance between work and personal life. By staying true to your values, continuously developing your skills, and actively engaging with your community, you can make a meaningful impact in your professional life and beyond.

Delighted to share a remarkable moment in Breezeline's journey: the South Florida Business Journal's "2024 Best Places to Work Awards" ceremony. Picture this: Jungle Island in Miami, bustling with 60 leading companies and 500 attendees, all gathered to celebrate workplace excellence. Amidst this vibrant scene, Breezeline stood tall, clinching the #14 spot among large companies in the region. Reflecting on my journey with Breezeline, I recall the day I joined, captivated by the company's promise—not just a job, but a chance at an extraordinary life. This promise isn't mere rhetoric; it's a living reality. It's a testament to the vision set forth by our marketing team in Florida, who sparked this initiative, igniting a flame that spread across every corner of our South Florida workforce. From the outset, it was clear: Breezeline isn't just about business; it's about people. It's about fostering a culture where work isn't just a means to an end, but a fulfilling journey in itself. And now, thanks to the collective effort of every South Florida employee, we stand proud as one of the best places to work in the region. This recognition isn't just an accolade; it's a testament to the dedication, passion, and camaraderie that define us. Here's to the journey behind us and the adventures ahead—guided by our shared commitment to excellence and the pursuit of an extraordinary life. #BestPlacesToWork #BreezelineJourney #SouthFloridaPride #WorkplaceExcellen

At the 2023 Outdoor Professional Conference, we invited speakers to focus on the future of facilitated recreation— foreseeable trends, roadblocks, emerging ideas and trends, etc. 📈 📊 Overall, our speakers identified that the accessibility and sustainability of outdoor careers, plus diverse and inclusive programming, are high priorities as we look to the future of our beloved industry. We are excited to be a part of and see action around these priorities, like Outdoor Recreation Roundtable's recently launched Outdoor Workforce Hub, which was developed to advance the outdoor workforce. That said, we are here to lend a helping hand with professional development opportunities, networking, career resources, advocacy and more as the industry continues to grow and change. 🤝 🔗 Links and resources 1.
