The NIH staff have a lot on their plates, from work pressures to caregiving duties and health concerns.  Luckily, NIH offers dozens of resources to support the workforce in both their professional and personal responsibilities and needs.  If you are an employee who wants to learn about the breadth of resources offered – or a supervisor, who wants to learn how to support your employees– you have unique training opportunities to give you a "one stop shop" exposure to these programs.

For all staff, the Office of Research Services (ORS) and the Office of Human Resources (OHR) recently partnered to create a 30-minute webinar, "Work-Life@NIH: A Workforce Guide to Workplace Well-being."  This webinar reviews the programs and policies NIH offers to support physical, financial, social, community, and career well-being, and it also breaks down which employee groups can access each resource.  Whether you are a federal employee, contractor, or fellow, there are programs to help you.  The webinar is archived here: https://register.gotowebinar.com/recording/418694429805346310.

For supervisors, ORS and OHR subject matter experts will again lead three in-person workshops, "Work-Life@NIH: A Supervisor's Guide to Enhancing Workforce Well-being." During this free training, participants will:

• Discuss the components of workforce well-being and how it can benefit your organization
• Learn about policies and programs the NIH offers to promote workforce well-being

Strategize regarding how to manage requests for these policies and programs as a supervisor

This workshop has been approved for 2 Continuous Learning Points for supervisory refresher purposes. Register via LMS, Course #NIHWRD1003.

The 2020 workshop dates are:

• February 18, 9:00 to 11:30AM, in 6700B Rockledge, Conference Rooms A – C
• May 19, 9:00 to 11:30AM, in Building 10, FAES Classrooms 3 & 4
• October 27, 9:00 to 11:30AM, in Building 1, Wilson Hall
  
  

Finally, all staff may be interested in hearing how NIH senior leaders view work-life issues, and how they have sought to support employees in their leadership roles.  Check out the archived webinar, "Work-Life@NIH: Supporting Employee Well-being at Work Panel Discussion."
