SERVPRO of Benton, Jasper, Newton & Southern Lake Counties Celebrates National Bring Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day

4/22/2020 (Permalink)

As essential workers, we are using this time to introduce our kids to the importance of providing proactive cleaning services and peace of mind.

National Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day is being held April 23, 2020. What that will look like this year may be different than previous years for many.

2020 Theme - Meet The Workplace Superstars

The 2020 theme is "Meet The Workplace Superstars." Kids enjoy going to the workplace, meeting the people who work there, and seeing how important each job is no matter what level or position. Employers think of their employees as superstars because they are the ones who make the workplace a success. Kids are the future superstars of the workplace.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 theme "Meet The Workplace Superstars" can be translated into at-home activities. Parents are the ultimate "superstar" to their children, and being at home together presents a unique opportunity.

Are you working from home? Include your children today in what you are doing; share your experience. Are you an essential worker venturing out today? Recap your day and why your work is essential for your children.

How To Celebrate This Year

Since many of us are working from home, or it is unsafe to bring our kids into our workplaces at this time, here are some ways we can celebrate National Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day in 2020.

• Develop an agenda that will allow your child to see the many tasks you perform. Throughout the day, explain the benefits and challenges of working from home and demonstrate how you communicate to clients, colleagues, or supervisors. 

• Teach your child about technology, communication tools, and other pertinent work skills.

• Tell stories about “workplace superstars.” Remember, YOU are a superstar in your child’s view. Together, search the internet for heroes who inspire you.

• Conduct a video chat with co-workers and invite them to involve their children.

• Teach children they are the future superstars of the workplace. Invite them to create artwork that illustrates that future.

• Shoot a video or write a blog post about your experience.

How We Are Celebrating

The employees of SERVPRO of Benton, Jasper, Newton & Southern Lake Counties are celebrating National Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day at home this year. As essential workers, it is unfortunately not safe to bring our kids into the office or job sites. We are using this time to introduce them to our essential business activities, especially the importance of providing proactive cleaning services and peace of mind to other essential workers and businesses. We have years of experience dealing with biological hazards and remediation. Now, more than ever, we are "Here to Help."
