🌟 Celebrating Social Work Appreciation Month! 🌟 As we mark Social Work Appreciation Month this March, I want to take a moment to honor the incredible contributions of social workers worldwide. From advocating for social justice to empowering individuals and communities, social workers play a vital role in creating positive change and improving lives every day. But let's not overlook the fact that the journey of a social worker is not always easy. It's a profession filled with challenges, complexities, and often emotionally taxing situations. Social workers navigate through crises, confront systemic injustices, and witness firsthand the pain and struggles of those they serve. Despite these challenges, social workers continue to persevere with unwavering dedication and resilience. They embody the true spirit of compassion, tirelessly striving to make a difference in the lives of others, even when faced with adversity. As we celebrate Social Work Appreciation Month, let us recognize and uplift the dedication, passion, and professionalism of social workers everywhere. Whether in community organizations, schools, hospitals, or private practice, their unwavering commitment to service inspires us all. To my fellow social workers: Your work is invaluable, your impact immeasurable, and your dedication unparalleled. Thank you for all that you do to make the world a better place. Together, let us continue to strive for a more just, equitable, and compassionate society. #SocialWorkAppreciationMonth 🌍❤️

Together, we can foster an environment where all moms thrive and succeed. 💼👩💼 #happymothersday #workingmom #humanresources #hrconsulting

Would I offer a free Christmas tree as an additional benefit to attract international specialists? Rather no. ❌ A shortage of skilled labour means you have to come up with something as a company. Even if the 🎄 sounds really nice, in a large international company you should bear in mind that not everyone has a Christian religion and uses a Christmas tree. 🌍 On the other hand, I am of course in favour of upholding traditions and putting up a Christmas tree IN the company. 🎅 I actually find the benefits listed above very attractive. So in my opinion, even without a tree, sounds like working there is quite nice. 👍✨ #DiversityAndInclusion #EmployeeBenefits #CompanyCulture #TalentAcquisition #WorkplaceTraditions

This post by Animikii Inc. CEO Jeff Ward highlights how systemically Anti-Indigenous Canadian workplaces can be, and shares important employment open policies that help address this reality, including: ✅ Statutory Holiday Substitutions ✅ Accumulating Bereavement Leave Pro-Indigenous policies such as these are one of the first steps to addressing systemic anti-Indigenous racism in your organization, and great news: They work better for everyone - Indigenous and non-Indigenous employees alike. #IndigenousLeadership #IndigenousBusiness #DecolonizeBusiness #DecolonizeCanada #IndigenousCanada

Happy Social Work Week! 🎉 I’m not a social worker, and I don’t play one on TV, but…… I've had the incredible privilege of working alongside many of these pretty awesome folks every day for the last two years. Reflecting on my time at OASW (yes, some social work behaviours have rubbed off on me 😊)......here are a few things I've come to realize and appreciate about the amazing social workers I get to collaborate, partner, and/or work with: 1️⃣ Social workers don't just have a job; they have a calling. I mean, I don’t think you could truly do this work, everyday, unless you are deeply and profoundly connected to it. Their passion for making a positive impact on individuals and communities is pretty darn inspiring. 2️⃣ Social workers are the MacGyvers of the helping professions. With limited resources, they somehow manage to find creative and effective solutions to the challenges their clients or colleagues face. 3️⃣ Building bridges is second nature to these folks. They take collaboration to the next level, recognizing that teamwork and partnerships are really the key to creating lasting positive change. I’m sure you can add your own to this list. So here’s a virtual high-five 🙌🏽 to all my social work colleagues at the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW) (and a real high-five when I see you this week!) … and to all our external social work partners and collaborators - you rock! 🫶🏽 #SocialWorkWeek #SocialWork #SocialWorkersRock #Gratitude #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork

Not my usual type of post but I find it important so here it is. To all the moms out there, don't settle for anything less than being seen, appreciated, and supported. Today marks my first day back to work after maternity leave and let me tell you something. It doesn't 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 be hard or gut-wrenching or anything of the sort. Not only did my team give me a beautiful send-off, they made sure all my work was covered, they followed up with me every so often so I wouldn't feel left out, and most importantly, they gave me the best-ever return-to-work day in history. You guys (and girls) in Action Recruitment & Action HR Services, I cannot express my gratitude. Not only did you continue to thrive while I was away (more on that on our official pages), but you also greeted me back with such a buzz of positive energy, creativity, and productivity, I'm immensely proud to work with you all. It's been great craic catching up with everyone today and I can't wait to work with you again and see where the year takes us. Now I'm gonna sit back and wait for the team to start complaining as most of us can't handle compliments 😎 (I'm back, deal with it :D) --- Noel, Joyce, Emily, Mislav, Keith, Dominika, Catherine, Sharon --- #maternityleave #returntowork #workculturematters #teamappreciation
