Spring Refresh!

Be Well at Work recognizes that the past year and a half has been a mix of new experiences and emotions; some energizing, while some mentally and physically fatiguing. This time period has allowed us to both establish new practices, while also resuming some familiar activities. This spring, we encourage you to “refresh” your wellbeing by taking care of yourself in ways that best suit your individual needs. You can begin a new wellbeing plan, make an appointment, join a workshop, or simply set an intention. Be Well at Work is here to support you during this process, whichever path you choose.
