PTN President Luke Stanton has a special challenge for you today in celebration of International Self-Care Day! Take your meetings outside and stay active with a walkie-talkie. Let's enjoy the fresh air together!🌞🌳#ptnteam#neighborlybrands#internationalselfcareday
Hi everyone, Luke Stanton, President for PT NCS here to talk to you about self-care. Back in the day here at Neighborly, we used to have a thing called the walkie-talkie. If you've been here for a while, you're familiar with the term and it's something that you used to see pretty frequently across campus. People or teams would go on walks down by the beautiful Brasses River here in Waco, across campus, around the buildings. But it was this idea that you stepped away from a meeting and you became mobile and did the meeting on the go. Groundbreaking concept. I know, right? But it's something that we've probably lost a little bit of site of where across the world right now, we're in so many virtual meetings, our calendars are filled back-to-back to back. Sometimes you don't even have time to go to the bathroom, right. And so we've gotten away from this idea of the walkie-talkie and certainly if you're newer to our. Organization, you may have never even heard of the concept, but it's something movement in general, right? And I don't think we need to have any sort of debate on that. You, a quick Google search will tell you all the great benefits of moving. Sitting at your desk all day long isn't good, right? It's not good for your mood. It's not good for productivity necessarily. It's not good for concentration or or anything, but it's something that we obviously have to do, right? So what I want to do, what I want to encourage you guys to do at least is to think a little bit differently. About your next meeting, right? So you've got a number of meetings that are in front of you. Be the first one just to step away and say, hey, can we do this meeting off camera or on the go? So if you're in person, get your people together, brave the triple degree weather out there and walk across outside in your neighborhood. It doesn't really matter, but do something that's on the go. Walking is amazing from a health benefits perspective and I think we know that, right? But it improves mood, your concentration, and I know that when I go on walks. Even gives me some new perspective on how to solve things, so it's something that we try to incorporate a lot. Even when it's so hot outside, well, brave down by the river and, and, and go on this walk and do our meetings just a little bit differently. So here's the challenge. Do something a little bit differently this week right now, right? So, and this challenge goes across the organization growth team down every rich way. What I would love to hear is an e-mail or a teams or a phone call or something that says, hey, I watched that video and that walkie-talkie idea was an interesting idea and we tried it and here's what happened. I would love just to hear from you guys what happened on that front. So encourage you guys to get out, get moving, do your meetings a little bit differently. And thanks for listening and happy walking.
So simple but I’m sure so effective and completely changes the dynamic of the meeting. No notes, no PowerPoint, just coversing through the topic. And agree we all need to move more during our day.

It offers a host of features to streamline MPF contributions, including pre-populated details, automatic contribution calculations for easy editing, and batch submission of employees' contribution data. 🔎Learn more about how the eMPF will help make MPF management easier for you: www.empf.org.hk#MPFAReminder#MPFA#MPF#eMPF#MPFContributionDay
🛡👷♀️ At AMMEGA, safety isn't just a priority—it's a core value we uphold every day. As we celebrate Safety Days, concluding on May 17th, we reaffirm our strong dedication to the well-being and happiness of our employees and the importance of health and safety in every area of our company 🌟
Throughout the week, we hosted local events and activities designed to promote safety awareness, from interactive mental health promotion workshops to hands-on first-aid training sessions. These initiatives equipped our teams with the knowledge and skills to stay safe on the job and fostered a culture of care and support. They promoted well-being techniques and tips, such as light exercise, easy to do behind the desk, or relaxation methods beneficial during stressful periods, which can improve the daily life of our employees 🤝
Ensuring the safety of our teams isn't just a legal requirement; it's an ethical responsibility. Our people are our most valuable asset, and their health and happiness are paramount. By investing in safety, we create a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive 💪
Safety isn't just about preventing accidents; it's about creating an environment where our employees can flourish and reach their full potential. Together, let's continue to prioritise safety because when our people are safe and happy, our company thrives 🚀
