I’m honoured to be part of the judging panel for Canada’s Workplace Health Leaders 🌱 — a new initiative created to surface and share the thoughtful ways People Leaders across Canada are supporting employee health.

This is a meaningful opportunity to recognize and celebrate People leaders and organizations that embed employee well-being into the real fabric of work — beyond perks, and into thoughtful policies, programs, and everyday decisions 🧠💛

There is so much important work happening quietly across the country. This program creates space to celebrate it and learn from it.

✨ Nominations are open until Jan. 31st (including self-nominations) ✨

If you’re doing this work — or know someone who is — I encourage you to share it. There’s real value in learning from one another.

Grateful to be alongside a thoughtful group of judges  @dianaMcLachlan,  Hannah Yardley, Beth Tyndall, Gaby Fisch, Paloma Tonaco, Casey Woods and Alison Kaizer. 🤝 — and appreciation to The Peak  and Alan for creating a platform that recognizes intention, care, and leadership in practice.
