October/2012

Happy October to all of our HR Professionals and Managers.

 

With the arrival of fall and the beginning of October comes colder weather and thoughts of the approaching holiday season. This can be a time of increased workload and stress, so it is important to remember to tend to both your physical and mental health. Accordingly, this month, Harvard's EAP Newsletter has several resources focused on keeping your body and mind healthy. 

 

For your mental health, The Wellness Exchange Newsletter has a section dedicated to detecting, preventing and recovering from burnout. Additionally, October's Wellness Work/Life webinar, "Maximizing Your Day," aims to provide tools and techniques that help you make the most of your workday while avoiding becoming overwhelmed and stressed.

 

The importance of attending to one's physical health is especially pertinent this month as October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  In that spirit, The Wellness Exchange Newsletter provides information on preventing cancer, while this month's Did You Know... Flyer provides an overview of resources appropriate for both those suffering from serious illness and their loved ones. Additionally, you can find resources focused on other aspects of health throughout this month's newsletter, including tips on preventing bullying and reducing cholesterol
  

We would also like to take the opportunity to announce the addition of a few new services to Harvard's EAP. The Wellness Corporation created these services in an effort to meet our clients' needs and provide the best program possible. For more information on these new services please contact your Account Executive. 

 

We hope that you and all of your employees have a wonderful month of October and always remember that Harvard's EAP is ready and available whenever you need resources and support.

 
"There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October." -  Nathaniel Hawthorne
Supervisor's Workplace Trends & Strategies

I know "presenteeism" refers to employees coming to work sick and being less productive, but it can be difficult to spot related job problems. How do supervisors intervene? Presenteeism is not a new concept, but I have only seen it mentioned in the past ten years or so.

Getting the Kids Involved in Saving for College

 

Since the 1960s, the price of a public higher education has risen from about 5 percent of median family income to more than 17 percent today. That's why it makes sense for families to make college affordability a family effort - with both parents and kids pitching in.  Here are ways to make sure you're well informed about the college savings process and how to involve your child.
