A lot has been said about the positive impact that shopping locally has on our environment and communities.

Now more than ever, it is crucial that we support small businesses that have suffered the most over the last few years.

This Christmas/holiday/year-end season let's be intentional about where we spend our money.

Because when we buy from an independent business we're not just helping them improve their sales,

and stay afloat during these difficult times.

We're also supporting their dreams.

"Unfortunately, many leaders fail to see the benefits of remote work for underrepresented groups, such as those with disabilities.

Some even claim the opposite: thus, JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon claimed that returning to the office will aid diversity.

What explains this poor executive decision making?"

https://lnkd.in/ewtV-gBm

The number of employees with disabilities participating in the workforce reached the highest rate in more than a decade this year, a new study found. This new high stemmed from the growth of remote work.
