June at GLOBO was a month dedicated to celebrating and promoting the well-being of our employees. Our Wellness Month was a success, highlighting the importance of self-care and community involvement. This initiative, spearheaded by our People Operations Manager, Sarah Gross, showcased GLOBO's commitment to fostering a supportive and healthy work environment.
The Reasoning Behind Wellness Month
Wellness Month began as a week-long series of wellness sessions and has evolved into a full month of diverse activities. The primary goal is to encourage employees to prioritize their well-being, both inside and outside, and it's crucial we take time to care for ourselves." This year, we expanded our efforts to include resources within GLOBO and community events, making the experience more enriching for everyone involved.
