Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the end of slavery, marking the liberation of the last remaining enslaved individuals in the United States.

June is widely recognized as Pride Month, a time to celebrate and honor the LGBTQ+ community. Creating an inclusive and supportive environment in the corporate office is crucial, and celebrating Pride Month is a fantastic opportunity to show your commitment to diversity, equality, and inclusion.

Summer is right around the corner and with it comes the temptation to switch off and tune out of work. As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, it can be difficult to stay focused on work tasks and maintain engagement. In fact, according to a study by Captive Network, workplace productivity drops 20% in the summer months.

Happy Women’s History Month, y’all! This month is all about acknowledging and appreciating the contributions of women in history. It’s an important time to expand your knowledge on women’s history, but it’s also an important time to support and empower the women in your life today.

In today’s work climate, employee appreciation is often seen as a want rather than a need. Instead of prioritizing recognition in the workplace, it’s often pushed aside and drowned out among all the daily tasks and priorities of a hustling and bustling business. But here’s the thing – employee appreciation is much more than a want. Data has shown time and time again that it’s absolutely essential for a thriving culture that produces incredible results.
