What Are You Waiting For?

By Darryl Stewart, Head of the Herd

What are you waiting for?

You want to work in a great workplace. You know that you have a huge part in making that happen.

What’s holding you back? The latest episode of Modern Family or the Big Bang Theory obviously needs to be watched, but what about the 3 shows that followed? They were nowhere near as good and no one will be talking about them tomorrow.

Being a great manager means spending some time thinking about the people you work with, the issues you face, and trying different ways to improve things. Try something tomorrow. No one else will.

IBEX Payroll extends our profound respect and immeasurable gratitude to all the ancestors and keepers of the land on whose traditional territories our work takes place. We acknowledge that we are on Treaty 1 territory, the traditional gathering place of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene people and the traditional homeland of the Métis people. This land is sacred, historical, and significant.

Every time we acknowledge this truth, we have an invitation and an opportunity to reflect on the wrongs of the past, what we do in the present, and what we can do to continually honour the people whose lands and water we benefit from today.

This statement only acts as a first step in honouring the land we reside on and its peoples, and must be paired with education, understanding and informed action.
