October is time to give thanks and it’s also an ideal moment to focus on your company’s mental health and wellness. The week before Thanksgiving is Mental Illness Awareness Week, which features World Mental Health Day on October 10. For company leaders, HR teams and team managers, it’s a perfect opportunity to demonstrate your care for everyone’s wellbeing.
Providing regular opportunities for teams to step away from their routine delivers a valuable, restorative boost for people, and proves that you value the importance of them taking time to pause, unwind and refocus. An energizing, creative experience helps to rebalance hearts and minds, inspires the development of fresh ideas, ensures clarity for problem solving, and enhances objectivity for effective decision making.
So much of corporate life is mandatory. Mandate an expressive, inspiring activity, such as Painting, Pottery or Meditative Art as a reward for your people and everyone will feel the benefits. Learn more and plan your next team event at CreateArtStudio.ca/events
