Hi everyone,
Today is Guru Nanak's birthday, a day of immense significance for our Sikh colleagues, clients, and others who honor this tradition.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism, was a visionary leader who preached the principles of love, equality, fraternity, and virtue. His teachings have left an indelible impact on millions around the world, and his birth anniversary serves as a time to reflect on these principles.
Guru Nanak's Birthday, also known as Guru Nanak Jayanti or Gurpurab, is one of the most significant festivals in Sikhism. The festival is observed with great reverence and is characterized by prayers, hymns, community gatherings, and communal meals in Gurudwaras (Sikh temples).
We wanted to let you know that some of our team members may be observing this day. If you are unsure whether your office observes this holiday, please check with your local People Team. Regardless of your personal beliefs or religious affiliations, let's use this occasion as a reminder of our shared values, commitment to inclusivity, understanding, and respect for all cultures and religions represented in our diverse workforce.
Thank you,
People Team
