TELUS Health (Formerly Lifeworks) Employee Assistance Program January 2024 Features: Reset and Renew

January 9, 2024Posted in: Faculty/Staff

A new year is a great time to take stock of your health habits and lifestyle, and set some time aside to focus on making changes you identify as those that will help you reach new goals. This month TELUS Health (formerly Lifeworks), Illinois Tech’s Employee Assistance Program is there as a resource for you as you seek to make health changes. Check out the Heartbeat Newsletter for articles such as Five ways to simplify your life, and Setting SMART goals. When you visit the Heartbeat Newsletter site, you also have access to prior months’ newsletters and all of their articles, videos, and resources.

New to Lifeworks? Consider joining an orientation session. The next general session will take place on January 24 at noon CST. You can connect by clicking here.

This month’s free webinars are:

  • Today’s financial trends — Jan. 12, 1 p.m. CST: Living in an era of unprecedented financial uncertainty and change, it is now more important than ever to stay current on financial trends, as well as recognize which long-term financial principles are still applicable today. In this session, participants will learn the impact that inflation and the cost of living have on household budgets, the protections available through the FDIC and NCUA, and how to consciously budget to maximize your spending power. Join this interactive session to create a personalized action plan to ensure you can adapt your financial habits to meet the moment.
  • Dealing with change for families — Jan. 26, 1 p.m. CST: Change is inevitable in life; however, for some, changes can be harder to adapt to than for others. This seminar will equip participants with the tools they will need to successfully navigate change together as a family. In this seminar, we will discuss what big or small changes are going on in participants’ lives and address what is needed to work through these changes as a family.
