This year's observance of Ramadan began at sundown on Sunday, March 10. As we enter the global, month-long observance of Ramadan, Favorite Healthcare Staffing would like to take a moment to acknowledge this important time for our Muslim colleagues and friends. Ramadan is a sacred month on the Islamic calendar, marked by fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. During Ramadan, Muslims typically observe fasting from dawn to sunset. That includes refraining from food, drink, smoking, and certain activities. This fasting is not only a physical practice, but it’s also a spiritual one, aimed at fostering self-discipline, empathy for those in need, and a deeper connection with one's faith. As a company committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, it is essential that we at Favorite create an environment where everyone feels respected, supported, and valued. Recognizing and honoring religious observances like Ramadan is an integral part of fostering an inclusive workplace culture. Please review the PDF document below to learn how to support your Muslim colleagues during Ramadan. Article written by Kionna Jones, who is a member of Favorite Healthcare Staffing's Diversity + Inclusion Council.

As part of our partnership with the Muslim Employment Charter, today we hosted an internal ‘Lunch and Learn’ to share what this means for us as a firm, what we are doing to promote inclusivity, and how our colleagues can be a part of that. Thanks so much to Aasim Azizurehman for coming along and explaining why this initiative is so important! So far, we have taken some steps towards creating a more inclusive and welcoming workplace for our Muslim colleagues. This includes: ✅ Installing a WuduMate which provides colleagues with a safe, comfortable position for wudu; the practice of ritual washing before daily prayer (as demonstrated by Aishah Din ⬇ ) ✅ Putting lota jugs in staff toilets for cleansing ✅ Providing prayer mats and a dedicated space for prayer (with signage) ✅ Being mindful of asking Muslim colleagues to attend alcohol-centric networking events ✅ Avoiding events that involve gambling ✅ Ensuring all firm-wide events include Halal food options ✅ Not organising firm events that are focused on alcohol, e.g. cocktail making ✅ Encouraging staff to attend training events that aim to improve their understanding of how we can support Muslim colleagues We look forward to our continued partnership with MEC and doing even more to support our Muslim employees, present and future. #MuslimEmploymentCharter #InclusivityMatters

On a Mission to Inspire One Billion People Become Champion Communicators I India's First English Communication Doctor I Upcoming Author I Sourcing & Procurement Consultant
Embrace the Colors of Success: A Lesson from Holi and the Tale of Hiranya Kashyap & Prahlad As we gear up to celebrate the vibrant festival of Holi, let's take a moment to reflect on the profound lessons hidden within this joyous occasion. Today, I want to draw your attention to the timeless story of Hiranya Kashyap and Prahlad, which holds invaluable insights for us, especially in our professional journeys. In the ancient Indian mythological tale, Hiranya Kashyap epitomizes ego, arrogance, and the relentless pursuit of power. Despite being warned against his tyranny, he allowed pride to cloud his judgment, ultimately leading to his downfall. On the other hand, Prahlad, his son, stood firm in his beliefs, unwavering in his devotion to truth and righteousness. 💡 What can we learn from this story? 1️⃣ Resilience in the Face of Adversity: Prahlad's unwavering faith in the midst of adversity teaches us the importance of resilience. In our careers, we're bound to encounter challenges and setbacks, but it's our ability to bounce back and stay true to our values that sets us apart. 2️⃣ The Power of Belief: Prahlad's belief in the greater good reminds us of the importance of staying true to our principles. In the professional world, integrity and staying grounded in our values are key to long-term success. 3️⃣ Embracing Diversity: Holi, known as the festival of colors, symbolizes the celebration of diversity and inclusivity. Just as each color adds beauty to the festival, diversity enriches our workplaces and fosters innovation and growth. This Holi let's take inspiration from Prahlad's resilience, his unwavering belief, and the spirit of inclusivity that Holi embodies. Let's paint our professional lives with the colors of positivity, integrity, and compassion. #holicelebration #professionalgrowth #inspiration #diversityandinclusion
