Southern Company’s Post

I'll be honest, I don't know if this is typical or not - my gut says no - but this is clearly a company that truly believes each of those people is part of the San Francisco 49ers team. They don't play on the field, but this shows these individuals that you believe their work helped the team accomplish its goals. And while I could be wrong, something tells me they do more things like this that we don't hear about. #teamwork #leadership #teamdevelopment #culture

This is a great example of inclusive organizational #leadership! While it’s not always possible to fly every FTE to every event, I applaud the 49ers for setting an example here — especially in the era of hyper-segmentation and favoritism amongst teams. Finding a way to acknowledge the contribution of all employees, whenever possible, goes a long way toward reducing silos, decreasing intra-office resentment, creating healthy workplace culture, and motivating folks to do their best work. #Superbowl #inclusion #culture #belonging

My favorite project was researching the local economy (i.e., real GDP throughout the last 20 years, unemployment rates, housing costs, etc.) 2. What is your most memorable experience from this summer? Our everyday conversations in the office have been the most memorable experiences this summer. 3. What are your hobbies outside of work/school? My big hobby outside of work/school is soccer; I love playing pickup, training on my own, and watching games on TV.

All Recreational Therapists that have earned the credentials Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) have been interns before. Entry into the Recreational Therapy field needs to be reformed so students do not have to pay tuition to complete an internship away from their university campus. The National Council on Therapeutic Recreational Certification (NCTRC) should place the needs of incoming professionals above any university’s or employer’s financial motives. See how ludicrous this appears: pay $10,000.00 for tuition to not go to the college you just overpaid in order to work ~600 non-paid hours somewhere else, then pay $450.00 for a chance to enter the field. Our soon-to-be graduates should be boosted into professionalism, rather than having to dig themselves into a deep financial hole, or into mental exhaustion, just to get there. The excuse, “We all had to do it” is bogus. … Ironic how Recreational Therapy is supposed to be a field that cares deeply about mental health and wellness, but Recreational Therapy academia and professional organizations do not apply ethical codes of nonmaleficence to students or interns. It’s important as professionals to be cognizant of the circumstances of interns - All the more reason to give our interns the best possible learning experiences. Interns should be compensated by the host for the contributions made by the intern. This year, Indiana home and community-based Recreational Therapy providers formed a task force to help Indiana Medicaid determine new reimbursement rates (compensation). Only one of the providers mentioned the costs associated with hosting interns and the need for interns to be compensated - Necessary for growing our workforce in order to reduce service disparities. If you are an intern, or will soon be an intern, please stand up for yourself. Choose internship hosts that advocate for you as an intern from the beginning - Do not choose to intern for organizations that simply use your free labor as a cheap recruitment tool to funnel you into employment or contracting just to grow their organization. A big red flag is if an internship host waits until the conclusion of your internship to present a job offer - Interns prefer to know where and what their professional role will be in advance! Hold the organization you are interning with accountable. Please help improve your internship organization with your latest and greatest educations! You are the future! I have a deep desire for the entire Recreational Therapy internship system to improve! If interested in an internship with Assisted Independence, LLC, please visit our website here: https://lnkd.in/eHP_hkHn Would love to hear more about anyone’s internship experiences anywhere.

"I'll sell anything but insurance" If you're in sales and say some version of what Lexi Myers (Weber) AAI, CIC, CRM, TRIP said, you're cheating yourself from exploring one of the best B2B sales careers on the planet. Way to go Lexi (only wish I had recruited her)! #insurance #insuranceindustry #sales

I should add that these are PAID internships. Not only does this make our internships accessible to those who can’t afford to work for free, there is a noticeable difference in the quality and consistency of their work over the span of the semester. It is a lot easier to give more to an organization when they are compensating you for your time. At the very least, I believe we need to be paying interns enough to cover the indirect expenses that come with a job (gas, meals, clothing, etc.).
