What does GOAL 2.0. have to do with Wellness?
We know that the relationship between an employee and their manager can be one of the most important factors in employee success and well-being in the workplace. Through the Wellness@Work initiative, we are working towards enhancing 13 factors that impact psychological health and safety within the workplace, including:
World Kindness Day: Be Kind to Yourself and Others
World Kindness Day is a global day that promotes the importance of being kind to each other, to yourself and to the world. This day, celebrated on November 13 of each year, has the purpose to help everyone understand that compassion for others is what binds us all together. In years past, we encouraged you to smile at a stranger, pay it forward and buy someone a coffee, or connect with a friend over dinner.

Financial Stress
"Nearly 1/3 of Canadians spend about one hour each day worrying about their finances. Financial worries often top the list of people’s concerns, even more than thinking about their health. It may not be surprising given the world we live in today."
