Let them have cake!

I have a passion for cooking and baking and am 100% gluten-free. This dietary restriction has not hindered me; instead, it has inspired me to adapt my approach. Over the past decade since my diagnosis, I have evolved into a skilled baker who can whip up delectable desserts without anyone suspecting they are gluten-free.

Baking has become my go-to activity in times of joy, stress, or really any time. I not only bake for myself but also share my creations with neighbors and friends.

Today, I embarked on a new culinary adventure – pistachio and almond flour cake with dark chocolate ganache. The stunning photo is from the recipe page, and the other photo is the one I made, while they look quite different - it’s the same recipe, and it tastes amazing!

Why am I sharing this personal story with you? Here are a few reasons:

👉 I am a multifaceted individual with passions beyond my professional life.

👉 Unexpected twists may arise in life, yet the path can remain rewarding and guide you to an exceptional destination.

👉 Share the fruits of your labor - whether it be guidance, a helping hand, or ½ a cake - I assure you that you’ll feel richer for doing so.

Now I’m off to enjoy a slice of cake and some trash-tv 😀

Grief is a deeply personal experience, yet its impact on employees is often overlooked in traditional workplace policies. As organizations evolve, so too should our approaches to supporting employees through the grieving process. Many current bereavement policies are outdated and fail to address the complex needs of grieving employees. It’s time for HR to lead the charge in transforming these policies, turning grief into an opportunity for growth and fostering a more compassionate workplace.

These policies can be insufficient for addressing the emotional and practical needs of employees dealing with loss. Common limitations include: Inflexibility: Fixed days off may not align with the varying needs of employees, especially if additional time is needed for perso
