Health isn’t just a personal priority — it’s part of how we care for our teams.
February is annually recognized across Canada as Heart Month — a time to raise awareness about cardiovascular health and what we can do to strengthen our hearts and our habits. As leaders navigating fast-paced, high-demand environments, this month is a timely reminder that sustainable performance starts with people who are well — physically, mentally, and energetically.
Leadership isn’t just about setting goals or reviewing numbers; it’s about creating a climate where people can show up fully. That means encouraging breaks, modeling healthy habits, and having real conversations about stress, workload, and balance. Recognition of heart health — whether through simple tips, resources, or a culture that makes self-care part of work life — signals that you value the person and their performance.
This Heart Month, consider how your leadership can influence well-being — inside and outside the org chart.
How are you promoting health and well-being with your team this month? Let’s share strategies.
