The County Wellness program supports employees, retirees, and their dependents through organizational initiatives as well as physical, mental/emotional, and social/family wellness activities, services, and resources.
The mission statement for Employee Benefits & Wellness is to provide benefits and wellness services to employees, retirees, and their dependents based on their individual needs to maximize cost effectiveness, decrease barriers to preventive care access, and encourage quality health outcomes.

Change is an inevitable part of life. Sometimes it hits us unexpectedly and other times it comes as a consequence of a decision we made.
Change is an inevitable part of life. Sometimes it hits us unexpectedly and other times it comes as a consequence of a decision we made. Either way, change can be scary if we aren't prepared to be flexible and resilient in the face of it. Especially in the workplace, organizational change can impact individual employee's performance and productivity.
Thankfully, based on decades of research, we know that it isn't the change itself, but how we perceive it. And there are specific internal and external resources that can be taught to help individuals not only effectively adapt to change but also thrive through it. Resilient people are optimistic, purposeful, growth oriented, engaged and connected. In this webinar, participants will: explore the impact of change on individuals and organizations, define the concept of resilience and how it's essential to cope with change, and learn the skills necessary to foster resilience and make healthy transitions.
