Mini Mental Break: Retail Therapy trivia. The holiday shopping season has snuck up on us! Take a journey with us down memory lane to remember our favorite former stores as well as test your knowledge of shopping trends and statistics from past and present. Challenge a colleague to see who makes to the top of the podium.

Whether you are a current Independent Health member or if you are interested in learning more about health insurance through Independent Health, learn about some of the value added benefits from IH, such as the Health Extras Wellness card, Teledoc, Brook, Foodsmart, FitWorks and MyIH.
Uncover your natural talents using the StrengthsFinder 2.0 assessment and personal reflection exercises. This workshop will help you to maximize your strengths and minimize your weaknesses, as well as learn to capitalize on others’ strengths to work more effectively with your team. You will learn strategies to turn your talents into an asset for your career and in your life.
