Help Employees Thrive While Doing More With Less |
It’s a challenging time for most organizations. Underperforming or failing isn’t an option, and just getting by isn’t such a great idea, either. Research shows that investing in bottom-line learning is a smart leadership decision because it will improve morale and productivity now, and make your employees more effective in the future. In practical terms “Doing More With Less” means that many people in your organization may find themselves overwhelmed. Yet, more than ever, you depend on these same employees. They are vital to your current and future success. Training gives them the tools they need not just to survive, but to thrive. The payoff to training your employees now is that their energy stays positive, their morale remains strong and productivity stays high |

FEB Lunch & Learn Series: Long Term Care Insurance |
What is long term care? And, do you really need it? Long term care is care that you need if you can no longer perform everyday tasks (activities of daily living) by yourself due to a chronic illness, injury, disability or the aging process. Long term care includes the supervision you might need due to a severe cognitive impairment (such as Alzheimer’s disease).
Long term care isn’t intended to cure you. It is chronic care that you might need for the rest of your life. This care can span years and can be expensive depending on the type of care you need and location where that care is received. Long term care insurance is one way of helping to pay for these expenses

Long Term Care .... make your peace of mind a priority! |

FEB Lunch & Learn Series: HOW TO BECOME A CERT TEAM MEBER IN YOUR COMMUNITY or AT WORK!
Emergency Preparedness Month: Learn About Community Emergency Response Teams |
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.
CERT is about readiness, people helping people, rescuer safety, and doing the greatest good for the greatest number. CERT is a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens will be initially on their own and their actions can make a difference. |
