LifeWorks July Feature: Take Care of Your Career (Self-Care at Work)

July 16, 2019Posted in: Faculty/Staff
LifeWorks, Illinois Tech’s Employee Assistance Program, offers a new work-life balance highlight each month. This month’s feature is Take Care of Your Career. Managers have an additional feature on Self-Care in the Workplace.

Having a busy work schedule doesn’t mean you have to neglect your well-being. Practice self-care at work: take deep breaths, stretch, go for a walk, get a drink of water, or ask for support when needed. Wednesday, July 24 is International Self-Care Day, which encourages you to take small steps in a positive direction to improve your life, whether that be at home or at work. Visit the International Self-Care Foundation website for tips on practicing daily self-care.
