Juneteenth recognizes the freedom of enslaved people of African descent in Texas. It occurred nearly two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation for the freedom news to travel to Galveston, TX. The Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, TX, on June 19, 1865. As of June 17, 2021, Congress approved a new bill recognizing Juneteenth as a national holiday. Interestingly, culinary traditions play a significant role in Juneteenth celebrations. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/4c0DXS4

Happy Founder's Day to all who celebrate! While I am no longer working for and with the Brothers of the Christian Schools and their partners, I am the professional I am today because of their careful guidance of my development. As an HR professional, St. John Baptist de La Salle was most certainly someone that I can look to for people management inspiration: his writings (Conduct of Schools, the Letters to the Brothers, Civility and Decorum) could be considered to be his version of employee handbooks. He spent time visiting the various schools and agencies that he sent the Brothers to, and he found himself adjudicating A LOT of employee relations issues between the Brothers. 😬 John Baptist de La Salle's engagement with the early Brothers, the families, and those who he rented space from is a good example of how nimble HR folks need to be with stakeholders. Today isn't just Founder's Day; it is also the day that Pope Leo XIII promulgated the encyclical, "Rarem Novarem," which informs our understanding of the rights of workers. At the time, it was a revolutionary document and it remains prophetic today. He said, "Hence, by degrees it has come to pass that working men have been surrendered, isolated and helpless, to the hardheartedness of employers and the greed of unchecked competition. The mischief has been increased by rapacious usury, which, although more than once condemned by the Church, is nevertheless, under a different guise, but with like injustice, still practiced by covetous and grasping men. To this must be added that the hiring of labor and the conduct of trade are concentrated in the hands of comparatively few; so that a small number of very rich men have been able to lay upon the teeming masses of the laboring poor a yoke little better than that of slavery itself." These two contributions for me as an HR professional inform how I work with employees entrusted to my care and, how I try to interact with those I partner with.

🎆 **Happy 4th of July!** 🎆 Today, as we celebrate Independence Day, let’s take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey our nation has embarked upon since that historic day in 1776. It’s a day not only marked by fireworks and festivities but also by remembering the courage, ideals, and spirit of those who fought for our freedom.   As professionals, we often talk about innovation, leadership, and vision—qualities that were embodied by the founders of our nation. These principles continue to inspire us in our workplaces and communities today. Let’s celebrate the opportunities we have to contribute to our nation's progress and the freedom to pursue our dreams. On this special day, we also recognize and welcome those from other nations who join us in celebrating. America’s strength is enriched by its diversity, culture, and individuality which brings a unique perspective that enhances our collective experience.   On this special day, let’s also extend our gratitude to those who serve and have served. Their sacrifices ensure that the freedoms we cherish are preserved and protected.   Enjoy the parades, the barbecues, and the fireworks, but also remember to celebrate safely and responsibly.   Wishing everyone a spectacular 4th of July! May this day be a reminder of what we can achieve when we stand united in purpose and spirit.   #IndependenceDay #4thofJuly #Celebration #Freedom #Leadership #Community #TrialTechMedical TrialTech Medical, Inc.

As a member of SSLA, I’m happy to see them discussing important issues. But disappointed to have two friends and conversations with colleagues this week that indicate little motion on at least two of the items that were front and center at the 2022 JWLS. How do we translate discussion into action? “1. Could miscarriages get a clearer instruction? I have had many sailors who lost pregnancies 15 weeks and below and there is no instruction for convalescent leave. Many of my friends have been expected to return to work the day after—this is unreasonable. Is there something in the works to increase the convalescent leave for members that experience miscarriages, as well as an increase in the PT deferment?” “2. I’ve been told numerous times that for my joint relationship to be taken seriously I need to get married.” How can the military offer consideration long-term relationships instead of forcing marriage? Service members may have different priorities and lifestyles than in the past.” Maybe each JWLS should generate an “action list” to send to the CNO, and each year - host a Leadership Panel to review the action items from last year!?
