Health and Employee Wellness will be hosting a series of monthly seminars provided by our Employee Assistance Program, “Perspectives”. As part of our effort to increase point-earning opportunities this year, we will award vouchers for 500 Virgin Pulse points for those attending these on Blue Jeans. Note that these will not be available for points later as TMS courses, the points are only awarded for attending the live event. All of the seminars have the same Meeting ID# by design, but they are separate seminars. Also watch for announcements about a talk, which will also be in TMS, about mental health during the pandemic worth 10,000 points – coming soon!
