Employee Wellness Newsletter
June 2026
Between leadership transitions, departmental reorganizations, and shifting workloads, 2025 felt unpredictable. When our environment feels unpredictable, maintaining our equilibrium can be draining.
This year, we are shifting our focus toward what we can influence.
Our 2026 wellness theme is Building Consistency.
By anchoring ourselves in simple, reliable routines, we can reclaim a sense of agency and steadiness, even when the workplace feels unsettled

Women's Group
Occurs the 1st and 3rd Tuesday each month | 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
This group offers a supportive and welcoming space for women to come together to discuss concerns, ask questions, and share their lived experiences. While every woman’s perspective is unique, there is a shared sense of connection that can be found through listening to and learning from one another.
Our hope is to create an environment where participants can better understand themselves through the stories and insights of other women, normalizing common struggles, fostering a sense of unity, and building meaningful support. We also recognize that sometimes a little humor can go a long way, and we welcome moments of lightness alongside the deeper conversations.
We Are Here (LGBTQIA+)
Occurs the 1st and 3rd Wednesday each month | 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
This group offers a safe, affirming space where LGBTQIA+ individuals can connect and share experiences. It is our hope that this group can help reduce isolation, foster a sense of belonging, and provide emotional support from others who understand the unique challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals.
Leadership Support- Helping Each Other Provide Persuasive and Inspirational Leadership
Occurs the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month | 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
This group is designed to provide a space for meaningful connection, shared learning, and real-world leadership growth. Each session will begin with a leadership principle, theme, or prompt that serves as a starting point for open discussion. From there, the conversation will be driven by the group—drawing on the collective experiences, challenges, and insights of participants. This is a peer-led environment rather than a lecture or presentation. All participants need to come with their cameras on and ready to engage.
