Get Well

Today we are going to talk about our Past, Present, and Future Goals with our team here at City Hall.  Some major topics will include:

1. How do we set Goals for ourselves, and how do we hold ourselves accountable? Wellness? Life?

2. What do we do if we do not attain those goals? How do we deal with failure?

3. What is the next step when we succeed?

Today our guest hosts come to us from the City of Yuma PD Training Unit to discuss the difference between training and working out both at home and at work, what impact nutrition has on fitness and if we really need to focus on both, and a great Round Robin of questions to finish off this all encompassing topic.

As always, please reach out to Coach Stephanie to continue on your wellness journey!

Today the teams that fall under the umbrella of the Yuma Area Benefits Consortium met for their 1st Annual Wellness Retreat to build upon how to provide the best possible product to employees located at the City of Yuma, Crane School District, and Arizona Western College.

Take some time to listen as Tiffany Ott (Crane), Lisa Swenson (AWC), Shelly Hook (COY), Robert Duffy (COY), and Coach Stephanie (WELCOAZ) discuss what was learned, what needs to continue to be improved upon, and some overall best practices at each entity at the Retreat and the Trust Board Meeting that followed.

As always, listen to the end of the episode if you would like more ways to find out what we have provided through the City of Yuma Employee Wellness Program!

Today we were able to discuss Holistic Wellness with guest Host Mayra Alexandre  from the different vantage points of Rob our Ambassador in HR, Karla our Ambassador in Finance, Regina our Ambassador in Parks & Rec, and our YABC Health Coach Stephanie.

If you had questions on what Holistic Wellness is, how you can implement it both at work and at home, and what steps you can take to further your own personal wellness, take some time and listen to employees discuss those very same topics and dispel some of the myths that may surround this incredible topic.

Episode 14 is a great discussion with Public Works Managers Michael Flowers and Joe Lopez about what a day in the life of a Public Works Employee consists of, and both the if and where of how wellness can fit into that busy schedule.

Thank you to all of the employees at Public Works for everything you do that allows us the time to enjoy Yuma!

In this episode we discuss the reaches of Technology in relation to Wellness, and we have a great conversation with Jason Smith and Adriane Vasquez, our IT Professionals, to help guide us along the technological trail.  We feature our IT Employees and how they utilize technology in their personal lives outside of work after spending the day immersed in it.

Do you  utilize technology at all, or do you keep as far away as possible once the job is done?

Does technology help us break away and relax when we are not at work in one way or another?  

Some great questions to ask yourself, and some great topics to discuss around the Podcast!

Enjoy!
