Ash Wednesday:

A Time for Reflection and Renewal ✨✝

What is Ash Wednesday?

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and self-reflection leading up to Easter. Observed primarily by Christians, it serves as a reminder of human mortality and the need for spiritual renewal. The ashes placed on the forehead symbolize repentance and a commitment to personal growth.

Why It Matters in the Workplace

Recognizing Ash Wednesday in the workplace is an important step toward religious inclusivity. Employees may attend religious services, fast, or observe personal reflection. Supporting them by allowing flexibility, encouraging respectful discussions, and fostering awareness of different faiths creates a more inclusive work environment.
