Sustainability - Wellness Initiative
![]() |
At PITT OHIO, our most significant resource is our people, so we've extended our mission to be People Driven beyond the workplace. In 2007, PITT OHIO initiated a company-wide wellness program in an effort to encourage our employees to Eat Right, Be Fit and Live Well. The goal of the program is to improve our employees' health and safety. In order to allow each employee the opportunity to perform to his or her greatest potential, we take care of our people. And in turn – our employees take exceptional care of our customers. |
November 2023 – Care For You, Too
If you are a caregiver, you may be struggling to find time for your own self-care. This month’s theme encourages you to practice self-compassion and find ways to take care of yourself while caring for others.
Caregiving is rewarding but can also be quite challenging. Take steps to take care of yourself so you have the ‘fuel’ needed to take care of others. And remind yourself it’s OK to ask for help from family, friends, and others. This goes for busy parents, too.
Ask people to help in specific ways, like making a meal, visiting a person or babysitting, or taking a person out for a short time. Seek out services, resources, and training that can help if you are a family caregiver. Visit www.eldercare.acl.gov (Caregiver Corner) and www.usaging.org/caregivers.
Share your experiences with other caregivers and other parents. This can help build a community of support, for you and them. Your work teammates may be part of your caregiver support system. Consider forming a ‘share circle’ to share experiences, resources, and solutions for common caregiving challenges.
