Hi, this is Morgan from the Americas Division in New York.

To encourage mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing, the Americas Division hosted a Burnout Prevention Hour to provide staff the opportunity to take a break during their workday with a summer-time treat. On July 18 and 19, 2023, Employees were able to enjoy a cotton candy artist who made animals, emojis, and flowers at their request. We also had fresh homemade snow cones available and employees could select their favorite flavors.

Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. While taking a break and enjoying some down time is a good start, the Americas Division furthered this initiative with an online seminar from a professional therapist on Fighting the Fatigue. In the seminar Mrs. Mirta San Martin, MA, LMHC talked about how to regroup emotionally using mindset shifts that people can use in their every day life.

The seminar also explored how to restore a feeling of stability and shape a realistic day while sharing ways to begin replenishing and re-sparking our essential vitality.
