Lunch and Learn

The Wellness Program provides “Lunch and Learn” sessions during the year. Employees are encouraged to bring a brown bag lunch and to spend their lunch hour learning about topics that are of interest to employees as they try to balance work/life issues.

3. WELLNESS
   
   Wellness and You: Living a Balanced Life
   Looks at concepts of balance and wellness. Participants will conduct a self-evaluation of their life using “The Wheel of Life” and will examine their finances, career, social relationships, physical health, mental health, education, spiritual life and family/home life. Tips and guidelines will be provided in each area and participants will develop their own action plan for working towards a more balanced life.
 

Breaking Bad Habits
Let’s admit it, we all have them: bad habits. No matter what they are, these habits are hard to break. This session helps employees learn to recognize their own bad habits, discover the reasons behind them, and replace them with more positive behaviors. These concepts are important first steps in the journey to wellness and leading a balanced, healthy life.
