APRIL

Allergy season is in full swing by April, so make sure your office is stocked up on tissues, hand sanitizer,

and over-the-counter medicine in case of emergency. Make sure to communicate any allergy benefits of

your provided health plans to employees and focus on the cost savings of generics, many are available

for popular allergy prescriptions!

JULY

Happy Independence

Day!

Talk about the importance of sun-safety! A yearly skin check is a good idea at any age, especially to get

a base line to monitor for abnormalities in the future. But UV rays aren't just bad for your skin, they can

also damage your eyes! You can get silly with it and provide funny sunglasses for the whole office.

Make sure you have hats and sunscreen on deck at your summer picnics and barbecues, too!

DECEMBER

MerryChristmas!

Keep in employees in the loop, when their mind might be on holiday stress. Make

sure they have used the FSA funds, had their annual preventive care, etc.

Communicate that sick employees should stay home whenever possible to keep

your office healthy. If you haven't sponsored a flu-shot clinic, it's not too late!
