Why ELE is Embracing Mental Health Days: Evolving Our Approach to Rest and Recharge
At Erin Leonard Events, we’ve always believed that exceptional events start with a team that’s rested, respected, and supported. In the past, that’s included closing our (virtual) doors for a full week to give our team uninterrupted space to unplug for a Mental Health Week.
But as our company has grown, so has the rhythm of our work and so has our team’s capacity. We’ve found ourselves in a season that requires more flexibility, while still staying true to our core value of prioritizing wellness.
So, we’ve evolved our approach.
