☀️T-12 Days Until the Unofficial End of Summer. ☀️ Can you believe it? Seems like just the other day kids were graduating, pools were opening, and grills were firing up. ♨️♨️ In the US, Labor Day is referred to as the "unofficial end of summer" as it marks the end of the most summer activities. Many families take one- to two-week vacations now through the end of Labor Day weekend. Why? Because many fall activities, such as school and sports begin around this time. How does this relate to well-being? Well - employees who have kids will, once again, have their routines up ended with school drops offs, after school activities, back to school open houses, PTA meetings, and countless other activities. Pro tip: If you're a leader, now is the time to have conversations with your team to see if they need support, if they're going to have any schedule changes, if they're experiencing any challenges, or just check in to see how they're feeling. For us, it was a few days up at a lake house with family while I played the role of grill master water front. Day Two -- corn on the cob, burgers, and a bunch of sides. Wait till you see what's in store next. #grillmaster #workplacewellbeing #summersout #leadership #culture #backtoschool #wellness

UNVEILING A REVOLUTIONARY PERSPECTIVE ON HIGHER EDUCATION "Turns out we're all looking at college the wrong way" from Tulsa King echoes the sentiment that education extends beyond degrees. In a pivotal moment from episode 3, this profound statement underscores your reliability as a potential asset in the workforce. Tulsa King, through a paradigm shift in hiring, challenges the conventional outlook on college. It's no longer confined to the confines of degrees but is a celebration of diverse skills and untapped potential that individuals uniquely possess. As an employer, we've enthusiastically adopted this new viewpoint—a perspective that places value on the distinct qualities and experiences that transcend traditional academic measurements. It's a realization that your alma mater is just one piece of the puzzle; what truly matters are the strengths and perspectives you contribute to the team. Cheers!
