December in WorkLife Essentials

This December, Celebrating is on the minds of everyone, and celebrations come in all different sizes.  In the workplace, it's a time to reflect on the accomplishments of the past year and looking towards the beginning of another.  There is also the celebration of individual families' cultural traditions at home.  However, thinking and preparing for celebrations can often be overwhelming and your employees will often be looking for a way to balance all of these priorities while still being productive at work. To help with this, we've prepared a collection of resources related to celebrations both at home and in the workplace.  In particular, a collection of brand new articles such as "Confetti in Cubicles - Workplace Celebrations"; "Creating Family Traditions Around Celebrations"; and "Making Celebrations a Joyous Occasion for Children" are intended to help better plan and manage all the pressures and priorities of the season, while still being able to enjoy the actual celebrating!  You can read more details, as well as find a downloadable version of this email teaser, at our Blog, or by logging in to your WorkLife Essentials homepage and clicking the "Celebrations" link in the promotion box. Please note that this month's promotion for our South American region is "Disability", which can also be explored by logging in to your WorkLife Essentials homepage and clicking the "Disability" link in the promotion box. Also, we are continuously updating content and features, and the best way to stay up to date with these, and especially with many more additions coming soon, is to visit our Blog regularly.  As always, if you are having trouble viewing our Blog, you can still access the latest What's New features and Teasers at our "What's New" page.  And, if you have any questions about any WorkLife Essentials feature, please contact our Support Team.
