👀 Who’s doing the work that isn’t in anyone’s job description?

📊 Recent Canadian research from Lean In Canada highlights "invisible labour" in the workplace.

Who remembers the birthdays?

Checks in on the struggling co-worker?

Organizes the team celebration?

Takes the notes?

Helps the new employee settle in?

Keeps everyone connected?

💯 This work takes time, energy and emotional capacity, yet it often isn’t formally recognized, measured or rewarded, but is 10000% needed to help build a winning work culture.

One of Lean In Canada’s 2026 calls to action is simple: “Recognize invisible labour as leadership work.” Read the full report here: https://www.leanincanada.com/2026-calls-to-action/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

💡 SMART HR Tip: Leaders, look beyond the job descriptions and KPIs. Pay attention to the people doing the little things that quietly hold your workplace together. Ask yourself: Who is carrying this work on your team and are you recognizing them for it?

Fun Fact: September 9th is cited as the most common birthday in the world! 🎂

💡 SMART TIP: Birthdays are an EASY opportunity to personalize recognition at work. A card. A cupcake. A coffee. A favourite treat. It doesn’t have to be big...just do something!

Even if someone says, “I don’t want a fuss!”, respect that, but don’t let the day go completely unnoticed. Everyone deserves to feel a little special on their birthday!! 🎈

⛓️‍💥 Lack of consistently shows up as a reason employees disengage and ultimately leave. So, do yourself a favour and add a little birthday love to your strategy!

Happy Birthday to all the September 9th babies! 🥳

LISTENING. Matt listens to understand. He genuinely wants to know about YOU....your business, your people, your challenges and what keeps you up at night.
