The holiday season, while often filled with joy and celebration, can also be a time of stress and burnout. That’s why it’s crucial to prioritize rest and relaxation. 💤 Here are some quick tips for a restful holiday: 🌊 Encourage employees to establish clear boundaries between work and personal time. 🌊 Offer mindfulness and meditation resources to help employees relax and de-stress. 🌊 Consider flexible work options to help employees balance work and personal commitments. 🌊 As a leader, model healthy work-life balance by taking time off and disconnecting.

Wondering whether to use "Happy Holidays" or "Merry Christmas" this holiday season? ❄️ Choosing the right holiday greeting can be a delicate matter. While "Merry Christmas" is a traditional greeting, it may not be inclusive of all employees, particularly those who celebrate different holidays. Instead, consider opting for "Happy Holidays" as a greeting to others in your workplace. This is a more inclusive greeting that acknowledges the diverse religious and cultural backgrounds of your colleagues. It's a simple gesture that can help create a more welcoming and respectful workplace. With that being said, happy holidays to our incredible waterfront community! ☃️ Wishing you a joyous and peaceful holiday season. #HolidaySeason #HappyHolidays #DEI #QuickTip #BCWaterfront #WaterfrontEmployees #Maritime #WaterfrontIndustry
