Celebrate Life: Workplace Remembrance

How does your workplace commemorate September 11, 2001 in the ensuing years? Are there other events you commemorate? Please share in "comments" below.

People in workplaces around the world will remember September 11, 2001 as a day of tragedy, sorrow, remembrance, honor, and celebration. In an earlier article, I discussed what employers can do When Tragedy Strikes Your Workplace.

Depending on your proximity to the tragedy, the affect of September 11 on your employees, and the needs of your particular workplace culture, you may want to remember September 11. And if you do, while there is much to mourn and memorialize about September 11, 2001, there is also much to honor and celebrate.

To appropriately honor the individuals, families, and workplaces affected, your remembrance must provide the opportunity for both mourning and for celebration. To address the needs of your own employees, your remembrance must provide the opportunity for both mourning and for celebration.

Perhaps a moment of silence, as has been deemed appropriate in many of my client workplaces, will work for yours.
