teamwork, leadership, or innovation that stand out.

» Check for consistent terminology, especially for proprietary tools, processes, or
methodologies used by your team.

» Ask yourself, “Would this resume impress a client or stakeholder? Does it tell the story of
this employee’s contributions?” Suggest improvements or examples that help team members
shine.

First Day of Winter

December 21st marks the first day of winter. Winter months can be a tough time for some people. Reduced sunlight,
dropping temperatures and gray days can lead to isolation, lack of activity, and other mental health challenges. Some
of the common signs to look out for include:

» A person is more withdrawn than usual » They appear more stressed, irritable, and/or upset

» Their work quality/quantity is reduced » They are taking increased time off work

If you have employees working from home, they may be feeling lonelier and more isolated than usual. While it can
be more difficult to spot the signs of those struggling with their mental health when you’re not in person, having
regular catchups will help. From social media, video calls, or even a simple text message; technology allows us to
keep up with friends, family, and colleagues virtually. For so many of us, this will be what helps us get through
these next few months. Be mindful of those who may be struggling, and make sure to check in to see if they are
doing okay.
