[Hung Wu]

Dear Wellness Program Participants:
    I hope each of you are doing well. Below is the list of upcoming wellness events, the link to each event is embedded in the title.

1) ​Managing Remote (or Hybrid) Employees<https://uc.sumtotal.host/rcore/c/pillarRedirect?relyingParty=LM&url=app%2fmanagement%2fLMS_ActDetails.aspx%3fActivityId%3d669606%26UserMode%3d0&domain=14>

Tuesday, August 6th at 11:00am

Working remotely has many advantages for both the employer and the employee. It’s important that anyone working remotely understands ways to maximize those advantages and yet not be forgotten when looking to advance a career. Working remotely is not about eliminating the cost of day care or pet care and not about the ability to do household chores during the week. Although the setting may be different, remote employees are expected to put in the same hours as those in the office. This workshop is designed to provide you with steps for maximizing productivity, being engaged and recognized and contributing to the organization remotely.


2) Women's Well-being at Work Virtual Conference<https://www.welcoa.org/womens-well-being-at-work-virtual-conference/>

This one-day free virtual conference will cover the health, happiness, and security of women at work. Experts will present data and trends while a panel of female leaders across industries will come together to react, respond and discuss the practical strategies that have helped them personally, in addition to the programs, policies and benefits that industry leaders use to keep women’s health at the forefront.

Wednesday, August 21, 2024 at 10:00am

Parents make up 40% of the workforce in which burnout, stress, and anxiety are prevalent. All of those mental health concerns are exacerbated when raising children and running a household are factored in. How can working parents find a healthy balance between the demands of work and life? In part two of this two-part series on caregiving, ComPsych Director of Health & Well-Being, Beth Brown, will share common work-life challenges for people in this group, identify and discuss organizational benefits of supporting parents in the workplace, and highlight well-being services that can support working parents.


Thank you.


In Good Health,



Hung Wu, MHA
