Juneteenth’s recognition as a holiday grew from a state holiday in Texas in 1980 to a federal holiday in 2021. It symbolizes the ongoing struggle for civil rights and racial equality, serving as a day of reflection and celebration of African American history and culture.

The holiday’s name, Juneteenth, merges “June” and “nineteenth,” the day it is celebrated. This date highlights the delayed enforcement of emancipation due to geographic isolation and the deliberate withholding of information by slave owners.

How are you reflecting on equality and freedom this Juneteenth?

Discover 7 spring well-being tips to embrace or share with your team! The changing of the seasons brings a great opportunity to reevaluate what's bringing you closer to your goals for wellness and productivity.

Ways you can encourage spring well-being at work:
1. Eat fresh, in season produce: maybe introduce a fruit basket in the lunch room or contribute to a community garden as a team.
2. Spend more time outside: take a team meeting in the outdoors or catch a little sun on your lunchrbreak.
3. Spring cleaning: Tidy up your workspace or group working areas.
4. Get out and exercise: as a team, join some kind of "walk for a cause" or a charity event with a physical activity component.
5. Be aware of spring allergies: it's nice to have the windows open, but be considerate of team members who are allergic to pollen. Station tissues around the office.
6. Pick up a new hobby: join a club and see if anyone you work alongside will join with you. It could be community dodgeball, birdwatching, or a free library event. Dust off a common interest you haven't engaged in for awhile.
7. Reconnect with loved ones: Remind your team members to take much-needed PTO to visit a family member out of town or a friend they haven't had time for in a while. Create opportunities for team members to hang out outside of work.

How do you priorize wellness in the spring?
