This past year people have found creative ways to connect to those who needed a helping hand. During a recent webinar, Dr. Sheryl Ziegler shared different ways we can reduce our stress and anxiety. Did you know volunteering can help relieve stress while also creating a sense of purpose and building self-esteem? Volunteering is a wonderful way to connect and give back, especially as we bring the year to a close and think toward our futures.    

 

Essex provides each full-time associate with 8 hours they can use to volunteer. Essex Volunteer Policy permits eligible associates—with manager pre-approval—to take up to eight (8) paid work hours per calendar year to participate with a qualified volunteer organization. Consider giving some of your time as a way of giving back, connecting, and making a difference.   

Showcase your volunteer spirit! Send a brief clip, photo, or description of your efforts to DEI@essex.com by Wednesday, 11/24 for an opportunity to be featured!
