The power of friendship
It's great having a support network available anytime through your Employee and Family Assistance Program, but having a friend that you can turn to when you need support is one of the most precious things in this world. Friendships contribute to our sense of emotional well-being and overall good health. During hardships and trauma, good friends can be a source of comfort and strength.As we get older, friendships often become casualties in our battle to juggle demanding family and work responsibilities. As it turns out, these relationships are critical to our health and well-being as well as our enjoyment of life. Make time in any way possible to keep these critical connections alive.

Take time to build relationships at work
"Time for reflection with colleagues is for me a lifesaver; it is not just a nice thing to do if you have the time. It is the only way you can survive," Margaret J. Wheatley, Management Consultant
During any work day, you need someone to share a good laugh with or go for a coffee run or to bounce off ideas. Set time aside each day to get to know your colleagues better. Your engagement and productivity will soar and you'll notice a difference in your mental health and well-being.
On July 30, celebrate International Day of Friendship with us and make your workplace a friendlier, healthier place.
