We kicked off our second Wellness Series with speaker Dr. Dennis Davis, Ph.D. Dr. Davis provided our team members with pointers to help them deal with the current crisis in a healthy manner, both personally and professionally so they can continue to #ElevateTheEveryday!
At Sequoia, Fun Day usually brings our team members together for a day of togetherness, and of course FUN! Since we can't celebrate in person, last week, we celebrated FUN WEEK virtually! 😊 The week brought us all over the world from the islands of the Bermuda Triangle, Japan, France, and more! 🌍 Each stop involved games, challenges, and of course prizes! At the end of the cross country journey our team members received some Sequoia Swag and were very excited to show it off! 😎
Our on-site teams have been working hard as essential employees over the last few months. Our home office came together as a surprise to thank them for everything that they do. We are in this together and together we are #SequoiaStrong.
At Sequoia, uplifting our teams, residents, and customers is more important than ever. Our Purpose Day events bring our teams together to give back, but since we can’t do them in person right now, we decided to host a virtual Purpose Day. Each team member was given the opportunity to use company time to create two posters, one for a team member and one for their community. The goal was to create a poster that shows compassion and uplifts our residents and teams. 😊 Take a look at the different posters our teams created. We hope this brings some positivity to your timeline and community!
Over the past month, our team members have been working hard and getting active in our Steps Challenge. This week, we completed our goal of 20,000 miles with just a couple of hours to spare! Our team members earned a paid day off and many special prizes along the way for all of their hard work and dedication. 🏆 We want to give a special shout out to the team members at Waterhouse Place, Niguel Summit Condominium Rentals and River Oaks Apartment Homes for walking the most steps in our month long journey!
After conducting a company wide survey about how our employees were feeling and coping, we took their feedback to create our Wellness Series, a collection of tools, resources, and conversations with reputable guest speakers. Last month, Erika Westhoff, a sports psychologist, walked our teams through the techniques athletes use to strengthen their mental toughness and how this can help overcome feelings of stress and anxiety through this pandemic and beyond. Stay tuned as we introduce more guest speakers throughout the series. 💪
At Sequoia, we remain positive and upbeat as a company, but we also have our ups, downs, and “ok” days as employees. Now more than ever, it is a time for us to focus on our mental health and wellness. In honor of Mental Health Month, we've launched these perks focused just on that! 💪
During these times of uncertainty, we lean on each other for support and teamwork so we can all get through this together. Sequoia has implemented engaging virtual programs like weekly TikTok challenges and virtual coffee breaks for our employees to have fun and be social at work.
With so many lives affected by COVID-19, we wanted to do something for our residents to help bring a smile to their faces. 😊 On Thursday, April 23rd with our Lunch is On Us Program, we delivered 24,475 lunches among all 54 of our Communities!
Normally we keep SnackNation stocked in our breakroom to help our team stay energized and focused. To give our corporate team members a little taste of the home office, we sent them their very own SnackNation care package! For each box we ordered, a meal was donated to Feeding America. 😊
