February in WorkLife Essentials

Well, the new year is well and truly here, and as most of us settle back into our usual routines, you might find that it's been a while since you took some time to really care for yourself.  This month in WorkLife Essentials, we're helping you with that in our promotion on Personal Wellbeing.  This can come in many forms - but the general concept we are promoting is that, no matter what challenges you take on during the day, it's always important to make sure that you're looking after yourself. An area that is particularly fraught with difficulty in preserving your own needs is when you're working from home, and we've highlighted 3 articles below that can really help.  But it's also important to focus on Personal Wellbeing as a caregiver, which you can read about in "Caregiver Stress and Finding Support", as you undergo life changes, discussed in "The Biological Clock", or just when you're under a lot of stress at work or at home, "Managing Stress".  We even have recommended on-line resources and a self help guide "Online Self-Help" to direct you to help for any of many other issues you may be facing right now. So, please remember to take care of yourself this month, and if you find that it's become increasingly hard to do that, Search through our resources and try a few new things you may find.  And, we always love feedback, so please use the Satisfaction Survey or Suggestion Box inside WorkLifeEssentials.com to let us know how we're doing.  Another great way to give us feedback, as well as stay up to date with the latest news and promotions is at our Blog. You and your employees can read our promotional articles this month, including those highlighted below by logging in to your WorkLife Essentials homepage and clicking the "Personal Wellbeing" link in the promotion box.  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.
