For your resilience, your grace, your eloquence.

🎁 Embracing Well-being during the Holiday Rush!

As we gear up for the festive season, it's not uncommon to feel the heightened pressures of work. Effectively managing this stress is crucial for both personal well-being and sustained productivity during the holidays.

Here's a practical guide to navigate the holiday hustle within the workplace:

1️⃣ Seek Flexibility 🤝
Acknowledge and communicate the unique challenges you may encounter during the holidays, such as increased workloads and looming deadlines. Advocate for flexibility from your team to foster a supportive work environment that understands and accommodates your needs.

2️⃣ Collaborate for Success 🌐
The combination of team PTO and year-end deadlines can create a challenging environment. Prioritize open communication within your team to encourage collaboration and even task distribution. Celebrate project milestones and spread acts of kindness to alleviate stress and promote a positive work atmosphere.

3️⃣ Prioritize Self-Care 🌿
Amidst the holiday hustle, make self-care a non-negotiable priority. Carve out time for activities that bring joy and relaxation – whether it's a workout, a stroll outdoors, or scheduled breaks. These practices contribute significantly to your mental well-being. Remember to disconnect daily to recharge and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Let's make this holiday season not only productive but also one where well-being takes center stage! 🌟

🔴 2023 Year-end Checklist for Employee Benefit Plans🔴
Although the end of the year is a busy time, employers should continue to prioritize compliance requirements for their employee benefit plans.

There are several benefits-related tasks that employers should make sure are completed by the end of 2023, such as:

✅ Submitting a gag clause attestation for their health plans (or confirming that an issuer or third-party administrator (TPA) submits the attestation);
✅ Amending plan documents for discretionary changes made for 2023;
✅ Confirming annual notices have been provided, such as the Children’s Health Insurance Plan (CHIP) notice; and
✅ Performing any necessary nondiscrimination testing.

In addition, employers should take steps to prepare for next year. For applicable large employers (ALEs), this includes making sure that health plan coverage will be affordable for full-time employees. Employers should also update employee benefit plan limits for 2024 and revise employee communications, such as summary plan descriptions (SPDs), for 2024 benefit changes.
