Keep Your Stress in Check

From the July 2020 Benefits eNews

You might have heard our world described by the concept of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity). Now, the coronavirus pandemic has created unprecedented disruption and stress. During this pandemic, make it a priority to recognize what stress looks like, take steps to build your resilience and manage workplace stress, and know where to go if you need help.

Your BMC benefits program offers a wide variety of resources that can help:

Start with bWell Builds. Our current wellness program, bWell Builds, through WellRight, offers a variety of challenges and resources for stress relief, including this 15-minute guided meditation, and the Stamp Out Stress Challenge starting July 6.
Get help from a team of educators. Get help with your child’s learning while safely at home with Bright Horizon’s World at Home resources. Bright Horizons offers guided learning opportunities that follow a typical classroom daily schedule. Explore the library of enriching activities to learn more.
Conquer workplace stress with Magellan. Join experts from the EAP for a live webinar on Tuesday, July 21, 12:00 – 1:00 p.m., CDT on Conquering Workplace Stress. Stress is a normal part of life. Some stress can help us to be more productive and push us to reach our goals. However, excessive stress can interfere with productivity and cause physical and emotional problems. In this webinar, you will learn the signs and symptoms of excessive workplace stress and effective ways to manage workplace stressors.
The Employee Assistance Program comes to you. Now you have access to up to six free virtual therapy visits with a counselor through BetterHelp. Virtual therapy for you and your family occurs via text messaging, chat, phone, or video. Watch this video and read the BetterHealth FAQs to learn more. Call the EAP at 800-327-1393 to get started.
