As we approach year two of living in a pandemic world, we encourage employers to reflect upon all the disruptions your employees have had to endure and overcome. From adapting routines (and home layouts!) to work remotely, and experiencing isolation from coworkers, to balancing overall stress, it has been quite the roller coaster.
The reality is this ride has had an impact on our mental health. A survey by Statistics Canada1 reveals there has been a drastic increase in Canadians experiencing symptoms of mental health since the start of the pandemic. A particular impact has been on adults that have endured social isolation, job reduction or loss, and changes in their overall relationships – much like the disruptions incurred in their professional life.
As an employer you play a primary role in providing ongoing support to your team as we continue to face these different times. If you are looking for a special occasion to recognize employees then look no further and mark the calendar for Employee Appreciation Day on March 4th, 2022. This is a great opportunity to thank employees for their perseverance and we have highlighted some perfectly curated gift ideas below!

Two words – self care. If the past two years have taught us anything, it’s the importance of taking time for ourselves to rest and recharge. The beautiful box was designed to pamper recipients with a soothing mix of elements to help rejuvenate the mind, body and soul.
