When it comes to work, face to face or virtually, our associates and staff deserve to feel valued, supported and inspired. The slowdown time is offered regularly throughout the year, and we are offering a week before Christmas as a slowdown week for planning and reflection, and the week after Christmas, as a paid holiday at the Social Development Centre. Staff self-care and time to disconnect contribute to a nurturing environment. We wish you all equally supportive and energizing holiday time before we meet afresh in 2023!
