Six employees at Dawson and seven employees at John Abbott College successfully completed this semester's Employee Sustainable Happiness 24-hour certificate. Jennifer de Vera (Sustainability Office) and Azra Khan (Human Resources) facilitated the course and Dawson lent Jenn to lead the John Abbott course with Shannon Coulter-Low.
The non-credit course developed at Dawson, now being taught around the world, aims to help people live their best lives by taking care of themselves so they can in turn take care of others and Nature.
Sustainable Happiness is a major benefit to Dawson employees who are given work time with the approval of a manager to take the course. Each participant must complete a final project.
Jenn reports that this year's projects included:
The flu season is upon us and in keeping with our value of well-being for all, the College has arranged for a FREE flu vaccine clinic open to all Dawson employees on a first-come first-served basis. The Human Resources team is currently working on confirming the dates with the service provider for the end of November.
You could expect an email the week of Nov. 7 confirming the dates and location for the flu shot and including a link to book your appointment.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Jennifer Dilalla at jdilalla@dawsoncollege.qc.ca
All Dawson employees are invited to save the date for our first-in-three years Holiday Party! It will take place on Friday, Dec. 9. Keep an eye out for an email invitation soon.
