Altis Recruitment

Yesterday’s webinar on workplace mental health, featuring Dr. Jennifer K. Dimoff, PhD, gave us some eye-opening insights just in time for World Mental Health Day. The statistics are staggering—69% of workers experienced symptoms of burnout in the past year alone (Mental Health Research Canada). But the conversation was more than just numbers. It was a call to action for employers to play a key role in supporting their teams. Dr. Dimoff outlined the critical elements of an effective mental health strategy. First step? Know the outcomes you want to achieve. Is it higher retention? Better engagement? Less regrettable attrition? Then, build your strategy by focusing on four main pillars: know your data, prevention, recognition and response. These are crucial steps to create workplaces where everyone can thrive. Next week, we’ll be sharing more key takeaways—stay tuned!

But that just shows your power, right? 😂 ▪ You’re a creative force—from your love of singing and performing to bringing karaoke magic to your birthday parties. 🎤 Plus, you’re the only person we know who made a spectacular ballroom dancing debut in their first week at work! 💃 ▪ You’re also a loving mom to Maddie and Kurt, who adore your annual family camping trips, and a proud cat mom to Calculon. 🐾 And of course, we can’t forget your love for “Friends” marathons—could you be any more awesome? ▪ You’ve become the ultimate Altis brand ambassador—your enthusiasm, professionalism and high standards reflect everything we stand for!

What do reading and running have in common? 📚 👟 They’re two ways our team had some fun while giving back this month! To celebrate International Literacy Day (Sept 8), we held a novel (pun intended) book drive! Team members dusted off their gently used books and donated them to local libraries across Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver. It was the perfect way to give old favourites a second life, help make reading more accessible and be eco-friendly at the same time. We’re proud to say we donated over 100 books, spreading the joy of reading in our communities! And on Sept 15, the Altis crew across Canada laced up their running shoes for the annual Terry Fox Run + Walk. This event is hosted in cities nationwide, so it was a fantastic way to come together as ONE TEAM, no matter where we were. Some of us ran, others walked, jogged, or even skipped to the finish line, all to raise funds and awareness in the fight against cancer. How did your team get involved in giving back this month? Share your stories with us in the comments! 👇

It was a day filled with fun, laughter and friendly competition, all under a beautiful, sunny sky. ☀️ ️Huge congratulations to First Avenue Investment Counsel Inc.’s Jason Hunt, CFP®, CIM®, CIWM and team for taking home first place! 🏆 And a big shout-out to RBC’s Janet McKeage CFA, PFP, Glenn Sheen (he/him), and their crew for a close second-place finish.

As fall approaches, recruitment scams tend to increase, often targeting job seekers looking for seasonal work or a fresh start after summer. We want to take a moment to remind our candidate community to be cautious of suspicious job offers, upfront fees, and “too good to be true” opportunities. Remember, you will never hear from our staff through WhatsApp. And while we occasionally send text messages to candidates in our network about career opportunities, we never request personal information from a job seeker via SMS. We understand how frustrating these experiences can be for job seekers, and we want to help keep you informed so you don’t waste your time, effort, or funds on false leads. To learn more about recruitment red flags to watch for, read our blog here: https://lnkd.in/gd3AyeKV    #recruitmentscams #jobsearchtips #fallhiring
