❤️THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE IN BUSINESS ❤️
Have you considered the impact of love in business? In February, a time for love and connection, we delve into how these emotions influence business. Trust, communication, and respect are not just vital for personal relationships but are essential in the business world as well.
At Elliott, our success hinges on strong relationships with colleagues, clients, partners, and the community. A recent example is how our team overcame a tight deadline through open communication and support, enhancing our client relationship and team cohesion. We view our customer relationships not as mere transactions but as valued partnerships. By actively listening to feedback and fostering innovation, we build and maintain trust – essential for lasting relationships. However, establishing these connections comes with challenges, such as misunderstandings or different viewpoints. We approach these with patience and empathy, viewing them as opportunities for growth.
This month, and throughout the year, we recommit to the values that distinguish Elliott. We encourage you to ponder your business relationships and share ideas for strengthening these connections. Thank you to everyone who contributes to Elliott’s success.
Let’s continue to integrate these principles into all our business practices, making each interaction an opportunity to build something lasting and valuable.

INTERNATIONAL REPETITIVE STRAIN INJURY AWARENESS DAY
February 29th is International Repetitive Strain Injury Awareness Day, a time to raise awareness about repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) and learn how we can prevent them.
RSIs encompass a range of painful conditions affecting tendons, muscles, nerves, and joints in various areas such as the neck, back, chest, shoulders, arms, and hands.
RSIs pose a risk to workers across diverse industries. An everyday activity like lifting can become hazardous in a work setting due to improper setup or the continual repetition of movements.
Be vigilant about potential signs of RSIs, including:
Pain
Joint stiffness
Muscle tightness
Redness, swelling, and “pins and needles” sensations or numbness
Prevention and early intervention are key! You can help eliminate RSI hazards at the workplace by educating staff on early signs, encouraging safe lifting techniques, and allowing workers to rotate between different activities to engage different muscle groups.
