Annual open enrollment process for benefit options ends today

As a reminder, the annual open enrollment process for all benefit options is open yet today, June 8. Please review the Benefit Guide, emailed by HR on May 1, that provides an overview of provided benefits, including premium information, for the plan year beginning July 1, 2023.

Open enrollment offers the opportunity to add, drop or change your benefits and/or dependent coverage. It is important that all benefit-eligible employees complete the open enrollment process to ensure that you have the coverage you need for FY2024. If you decline health insurance or wish to contribute to a flexible spending account, it is required that you complete the open enrollment process. Flexible spending enrollments will not rollover into the new plan year.

To access the open enrollment portal, click on the PlanSource-Benefits Enrollment Platform on the HR Portal page.

Leadership professional development

The Oxford dictionary defines leadership as “the action of leading a group of people or an organization.” Leadership is not a title; it is an action.

During the summer months we will focus on resources and events to support leadership development for all staff who are interested in these topics regardless of their title.  The summer provides a great opportunity for all staff to concentrate some time on their own development, and many of the skills found in leadership training are useful in both our professional and personal lives.

Supervisors are encouraged to identify staff within their areas that they believe would benefit from these offerings and to discuss developing our leaders going forward. Better yet, supervisors are encouraged to take part in these resources and to bring a staff or two along for the opportunity.

In-person workshop

Working with Emotional Intelligence – June 20, 9:30-11:30 a.m.

Is it possible to make a decision without emotion?

This course explores this question, by looking at our ability to recognize and understand emotions in ourselves and others.  Along with our ability to use this awareness to manage our behavior and relationships in the workplace.

For additional information visit Working with Emotional Intelligence within the Staff Training and Development page on the HR Portal.
