MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP

Welcome to our first HR quarterly newsletter! Once again, I want to thank all of you for an amazing 2022 and getting off to a fast start in 2023. Hard to believe it is already March! Looking back, 2022 was a year of tremendous change but we achieved significant accomplishments through your resiliency, dedication, and collaboration across the dept. As a result, we are positioned to support the organization and continued growth at an even higher level this year. I continue to be blown away by the talent on this team and the ALL-IN attitude from each of you. If we execute on our core priorities and focus on culture (on our team and for the entire company), our best years are ahead of us.

I look forward to seeing you all in person later this year at our department meeting in STL. Until then, make time to build relationships with new members of team and take care of yourselves. Thank you for all you do each day to model our culture, perform at a high level, and listen to the needs of our partners and business leaders. I truly appreciate you!

Genuine Safety Moment Fight Winter Fatigue

The winter months can cause sleepiness that can be hard to shake during cold and dark days. According to the Sleep Foundation, sleepiness affects 10-20% of Americans. Its impacts include inability to stay alert, focus, or concentrate; increased risk-taking behaviors; slowed reaction times; difficulty making decisions; irritability; memory problems; and trouble remembering new concepts. Here are a few tips to care for your personal health and fight winter fatigue:

• Eat Right. Stick to nutritious foods and drinks instead of sugary items that only give a temporary jolt of energy.

• Get Sleep. The Sleep Foundation reports that average adults need between 7-9 hours of sleep per night.

• Exercise. Experts recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week.

• Reduce Stress. Consider meditation, yoga or other stress reducing activities.

• Feel the Sunshine. Thanks to winter's shorter and darker days, your body releases an increase of melatonin causing an imbalance in your body's circadian rhythm, or natural 24-hour body clock. Brighten or dim lights accordingly to help you stay awake during the day and sleep at night.
