Megan's Corner: A Little HR Cheer To Close Out The Year

As the year winds down and calendars fill with holiday plans, I wanted to take a moment to share a little HR perspective — not about policies or payroll deadlines this time — but about people.
The end of the year is often a mix of excitement, exhaustion, reflection, and gratitude. It’s the season where we pause just long enough to realize how much we’ve all handled, built, and learned together over the past twelve months. Whether this year brought growth, change, challenge, or all of the above — you showed up. And that matters.
From an HR lens, one of the most powerful things we see during the holidays is how intentional people become. More check-ins. More thank-yous. More flexibility. More grace. And honestly? That’s something worth carrying into the new year, not just December.
So as you wrap up projects, take PTO, travel, rest, or simply unplug for a bit — my hope is that you take time to reset and reflect on what you need heading into the next chapter. Burnout isn’t a badge of honor. Rest is productive. And balance isn’t a luxury — it’s necessary.
On behalf of HR, thank you for another year of trust, communication, and teamwork. We’re grateful for each of you, and we’re excited for what’s ahead in 2026.
Wishing you a peaceful holiday season and a strong, healthy start to the new year.
— Megan

I really liked this HR perspective roller baller, it reminded me how important it is to slow down, reflect, and appreciate the people around us as the year ends.
I read the Megan’s Corner: A Little HR Cheer to Close Out the Year post, and it talks about taking time at the end of the year to notice how much we’ve all handled, learnt, and built together as people instead of just focusing on tasks and rules. When I was swamped with coursework last term, I even had to get assignment help for management students because I felt lost trying to sort everything out on my own. That taught me that pausing, asking for a bit of support and remembering small wins can really help get you through busy times.
Overall, Monkey Mart is a casual and enjoyable game perfect for relaxing play sessions.
