At Flynn, we recognize the demands that our personal and professional lives place on us. To help our employees better manage these demands, we have partnered with Morneau Shepell to create an Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP). As part of EFAP, Flynn employees have access to many resources. Professionals are available to provide you with confidential counselling for health, money and other personal concerns.

We are pleased to present Morneau’s latest EFAP newsletter. Click this link to read the newsletter for July.

The theme for this month is work-life balance. Work-life balance is usually involved whenever we find ourselves struggling at work. In these cases, we may look to factors outside work to determine the problem. However, if that fails to improve your motivation and energy levels, the problem could be lack of engagement with your work.

Indeed, it is well known that feeling positive about your work makes it much easier. With that in mind, here are some tips for our Flynn family to become more engaged with our work:

  • Commit to your work
  • Choose to be engaged
  • Own it
  • Do your best to overcome obstacles in your way
  • Be positive
  • Find effective role models
  • Don’t blame others
  • See the big picture

And the story doesn’t end there! We don’t want to spoil the whole newsletter. Please take some time to read the whole document and reflect how it can help you become more engaged and less stressed.
