At Colonial Eye Care, we know that true vision care starts with a clear, relaxed mind—and that goes for our amazing team, too! 👁️
To say a massive "thank you" for everything they do, we wanted to do something completely different for staff appreciation. Over the course of this summer, we surprised our team with a paid two-hour "restore and recharge" experience during the workday. Instead of a one-size-fits-all party, we secretly curated a unique experience for each team member based on their own personal needs, desires, and favorite ways to recharge. And because no perfect experience is complete without a little something extra, each surprise came with a special added touch!
🎁We have more to come but here is a peek into how our team got to restore:
🪓 Target Practice: Two of our fellas received a trip to Axe Republic, complete with their very own personal throwing knives!
🪻 Lavender Fields: A peaceful afternoon strolling and picking fresh lavender at Sweethaven Lavender of Williamsburg, complete with a custom goody basket waiting at pickup.
🥾 Scenic Hiking: A quiet escape to a beautiful local trail at Waller Mill Park, with a delicious, packed lunch and hiking goodies.
🫖 A Date with a Book: A cozy, quiet getaway at The Bed and Breakfast at Peace Hill Farm for paid tea and treats, featuring a surprise date with a brand-new book.
🧖♀️ Salt Cave & Sauna: Melting stress away with a deeply relaxing, peaceful session at Williamsburg Salt Spa.
🎣 Quiet Fishing: Stepping away to a favorite chosen spot with a few new fishing goodies to help reel in the big one .
💅 Pamper Sessions: Taking the time for essential self-care with relaxing manicures and pedicures at Nails Uptown.
🍷 Winery Unwinding: Slowing down and sipping a glass or two at the beautiful Saude Creek Vineyards.
We love our team and know that taking care of their well-being allows them to take the absolute best care of our wonderful patients. When our team shines from the inside out, so does the care we provide to our community! 💙
👏👇 We believe that a great workplace should always lift its people up and truly value work-life balance. What does your ultimate recharge day look like? Let’s celebrate more local businesses and workplaces that prioritize wellness—drop your favorite way to unwind in the comments below! 👇
