Tom: Hey Maria, when is HealthScan this month?
Maria: No HealthScan until September. And now it’s HealthScan Plus.
Tom: But it’s always in April and October.
Maria: That’s all changed with the Be Well Program.
Tom: Oh yeah, the funky bracelet program.
Maria: Tom, even if you only want to participate in HealthScan once a year, you need to stay informed. This information has been everywhere. Please try to pay attention.
Tom: Everywhere, huh? Where might everywhere start?
Maria: (Sigh) You like Facebook. Why don’t you start there?
We know everyone is busy, and tons of email and information arrive in your inbox every day. But Maria has a point. If you want to take advantage of all of the benefits and programs you’re entitled to as a Lehigh faculty or staff member, you’ve got to pay attention.
One of the guiding principles of our benefits philosophy is that we pledge to provide employees with the resources and counseling they need to make the most of their benefits. We try very hard to keep up our end of the bargain.
There are now quite a few ways to find out what’s going on and make full use of your benefits. In addition to this publication, which comes out eleven times a year, here are a few of your options:
- Like the Work Life Lehigh Facebook page
- Follow Work Life Lehigh on Twitter
- Read the monthly Workplace Learning e-newsletter sent by Linda Lefever
- Read the Daily Announcements
- Check out the Workplace Learning Google calendar
- Visit the Human Resources website.
Working at a university also affords us all great opportunities for intellectual stimulation and cultural experiences. When you can make time in your schedule, there are numerous events, concerts, lectures, symposia, and athletic events to take in. Some ways to stay on top of this information include:
- The searchable, mobile-friendly Lehigh Events Calendar
- The Lehigh Athletics website
- The Zoellner Arts Center website and Facebook page
- The Daily Announcements.
Knowledge is power – and now you have it. Join “Team Maria” and become a know-it-all about your benefits and what’s going on at Lehigh.
