HeadsUp

We are starting to wind down our Heads Up campaign, but we know our partners/colleagues will continue to make us proud with their amazing ideas & efforts in the “Young worker safety” space. Thank you to all our partners & followers. We couldn’t have done it without YOU!

From our Heads Up team to yours, we want to say THANK YOU! Thank you for taking the time to support our “young worker safety campaign” with our partners, colleagues & friends. #HeadsUp #worksmart #worksafe

Communicating without barriers is made possible when there’s trust, honesty and respect on both sides of the conversation. Good communication is the foundation for a productive work environment and any mutually beneficial relationship. #headsup #worksmart #worksafe

How do you communicate with your peers? Do you hear out their point of view? If you don't already, considering practicing these personal communication tactics. Also, check out our Young Worker Safety Month giveaway on our Instagram @headsupab. #headsup #worksmart #worksafe

How do you communicate with the person you spend the most time with: yourself? Are you kind to yourself? If you don't already, considering practicing these personal communication tactics. Also, check out our Young Worker Safety month giveaway on our Instagram (@headsupab).

To text or not to text...is that the question? Have you ever sent a text with one intention, but the meaning is entirely lost on the person who received it? Have you ever thought “that could have been an email”? How we communicate is often just as important as what you say.

⭐It's Young Worker Safety Month⭐. This month we are talking about communications tools in the workplace, and the role communication plays in positive mental and physical health. See @HeadsUpAB @CMHA_AB and @SafeGenAB giveaway posts for a chance to win this month!

🌞How much sun is too much sun?🌞 Is that a THING? Vitamin D is definitely good for the soul, but too much can be hard on your body. So step out into that sun with care! #HeadsUp

We rarely think about slips, trips & falls at the workplace, but something as simple as a loose extension cord can cause serious injuries. Take a look at @YourAlberta’s video for more safety tips! youtu.be/Zjw_51cW2Hg #headsup #worksmart #worksafe

❤️Taking care of your body makes daily tasks easier. Understanding your body makes you more aware of how you interact with your surroundings. Loving your body makes you want to protect it. So, treat your body and mind the way you’d a loved one—with care and respect. Keep it safe.

U lift bro? Ok, so staying active doesn’t mean you have to go to the gym every day. Heck, you don’t have to go to the gym at all. 10 minutes of activity a day can make all the difference on your stress and anxiety levels. #headsup #worksmart #worksafe

When we don’t recognize our limits & set our boundaries, burnout happens. Let’s get comfortable with cancelling plans. With saying no to overtime. With not answering texts right away. Do what you need to do to feel good, productive & ready to take on the world your own way.

You are only one human. You can’t do everything, and there are only so many hours in a day. So, why can’t you give yourself a break? Take a break. Say no. Just do your best. Do just enough. Give up. Start all over again. Forgive failures. …it’s human. #headsup #worksmart

The sun changes a lot: your perspective, your mood, your productivity… why is that? The good ol’ D…Vitamin D! 🌞 We love the sun and the sun loves us. 👟 Drop what you’re doing and head outside, if you aren’t already. It’s good for the soul. 👟 #headsup #worksmart

😎 Do you feel like an entirely different version of yourself as soon as winter decides to go back into hibernation? Us too. Take a break, head outside and soak up some of that sun!🌞 #headsup #worksmart #worksafe
