SURROUND YOUR WORKDAY WITH CALM APP– FOR LBCC EMPLOYEES
From the LBCC Employee Wellness Committee
It’s not always easy to set boundaries between work and life. Bookending your day with mindfulness can help separate working hours from downtime—and the benefits of mindfulness will extend beyond each session.
Try beginning or ending your workday with a mindful walk. A mindful walk is one in which you pay attention to your breath, the sounds around you, or the feeling of the air on your skin. If you can’t get outside for a walk, try taking a few laps around your home or up and down the stairs.
Try a Mindful Walking meditation in the Calm app. Sessions range from 5-30 minutes.
As a reminder, the Calm app is provided to all of you for free, by the LBCC Wellness Committee. If you haven’t already done so, see the attached instructions to activate your Calm account.
EMPLOYEE WELLNESS COMMITTEE: THE WELL SPOT
For more information and inspiration, head over to The WELL Spot for LBCC Employees on Canvas page where you can access ZOOM links to “off the mat” and “on the mat” live yoga practices, Monday Movement & Motivation videos, as well as other resources to encourage daily healthy habits and well-being. Canvas page: https://lbcc.instructure.com/courses/50966.
LBCC LAUNCHES ‘NAMECOACH’ SERVICE
Do you ever worry that you may mispronounce someone’s name? Starting this semester, NameCoach allows LBCC students, tutors, and professors to record the proper pronunciation of their names for others to hear. NameCoach can be accessed through Canvas or account profile in the Course. Please check your email for more info.
UPDATE YOUR CELL TO RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGE NOTIFICATIONS
During this time, the need for mass notifications to keep LBCC employees updated on changing information is pertinent. Oftentimes, such as in the case of COVID-19 vaccination distribution, your cell phone is essential in delivering up-to-date news and event details.
In order to confirm that Long Beach City College has your cell phone on file:
Go to the www.LBCC.edu homepage
Under “Quicklinks,” click on “Employee Self-Service Log-in” to update your mobile phone on file if you would like to receive text messages from LBCC.
BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CLASSIFIED SENATES AND CLASSIFIED UNIONS?
We are so grateful for our excellent relationship with the Classified Union. But we still get a lot of questions about the differences between Classified Senates and Classified Unions. Here is an infographic.
