Liz choic wants #CelebrateEverything teams at Education Canada Group
CALGARY, AB, 23 December 2021 / CNW / – Liz choic, newly appointed CEO of Education Canada Group (ECG), parent company of Robertson College, is launching the #CelebrateEverything initiative to allow team members at its Canadian campuses to take up to 2 additional paid days off to celebrate cultural, spiritual or religious festivals.
The #CelebrateEverything campaign is part of the Winn Love initiative, led by Dr. R. Abdulrehman, clinical psychologist and director of Clinic Psychology Manitoba.
“What I liked about WinnLove is that it initiates conversations around the psychology of a sense of inclusion, identity and self-esteem,” Choi said. “Diversity, equity and inclusion is more than having diverse people on your teams, it’s about valued, valuable people and positive feelings for everyone. A sense of belonging matters. “
The campaign recognizes the various cultural holidays that ECG and Robertson team members celebrate throughout the year. The purpose of the campaign is to draw attention to the fact that not all holidays are celebrated or experienced by everyone in the same way and by focusing our attention on these holidays only, it intentionally isolates individuals from the in the workplace, in education and in society.
“Getting days off isn’t special treatment. We live in a very homogenized and colonized society where there is pressure to be the same and a higher value is placed on what the majority do, and that includes how and what we share about our own identity and traditions. Expanding our flexibility makes room for the health and happiness of our society. In the ‘new world of work’ that we strive towards at Robertson & ECG, we are always heading towards that next level of growth for our teams, and that includes combining diverse vacations with equal vigor. “
Choi believes that intentional efforts on behalf of #CelebrateEverything will only bring more energy, excitement and joy to the workplace. Members of the ECG and Robertson team at its campuses Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg will start at #CelebrateEverything from 2022.
