Final Healthy for Life weekly email
It has been a stimulating and rewarding few years for the Healthy for Life Team—we hope you can say the same—but this is the last weekly digest we will be emailing to you. We are already launching new communications tools to advertise the same great information, like our new Let’s Talk Total Rewards blog where daily articles are posted. Please use the “Subscribe” feature on the right-hand side of the blog’s homepage to have articles delivered to your email inbox every day. And, we hope you’ll encourage your colleagues to subscribe, too.
Thank you for reading and sharing our news over the years. We look forward to many great years to come! This isn’t the end. We’ll still be in touch—just in different ways, including different types of emails.
