🏃‍♀️💧 Wellness FIX in '26: Physical Wellness Month 💙

This month, empac's Wellness FIX in '26 is focused on Physical Wellness—the everyday choices that help us feel energized, resilient, and ready to thrive both personally and professionally.

Physical wellness isn't just about exercise. It's about caring for your whole self:

✅ Find movement you enjoy—even short walks or stretch breaks count

😴 Prioritize 7–9 hours of quality sleep each night

🥗 Fuel your body with nutritious foods and stay hydrated

🩺 Schedule preventive care and address health concerns early

🧠 Manage stress and emotions to support both mental and physical health

Remember, wellness doesn't require dramatic changes. Small, consistent habits can lead to meaningful improvements over time.

What's one thing you're doing this month to support your physical health? Share below and inspire others! ⬇️

Perfectionism isn't a badge of honor. It often stands in the way of your true potential.

During National Mental Health Awareness Month, let's talk about self-acceptance. Many of us battle the compulsive need to be liked, overcompensate to never be wrong, or shrink from opportunities for fear of failure.

To truly thrive, we must shift our mindset about how we feel when we think about ourselves.

Here are four actionable ways you can practice self-acceptance:

- Separate your identity: Your worth is not defined by your job title or daily performance. Find interests outside of work to help you learn and grow in different ways.

- Reframe your language: Swap "Sorry I'm late" for "Thank you for your patience." Instead of apologizing for taking up space, say "Thank you for listening."

- Pause before pleasing: Break the habit of an immediate "Yes." Try saying, "Thank you for thinking of me. I’ll get back to you."

- Manage rumination: You are not your thoughts. You have the power to step away from negative mental loops. Instead, focus on what is happening in the moment and deal with this reality, not "what might happen" or "the worst that could happen."

Want to build a healthier mindset? We are here for you. Find the resources you need to grow, thrive, and build your self-acceptance. Start now: https://empac-eap.com/request-a-quote/.

At empac, we believe strong leadership starts with a willingness to keep learning!

As an organization dedicated to supporting growth, communication, and professional development, we believe in practicing what we preach — and today was a great example of that in action! 💙

Our team had the opportunity to participate in a presentation on public speaking led by our very own Becca Hawthorne Barnhouse!

From building confidence and presence to improving communication and audience connection, the session provided valuable tools that strengthen both personal and professional leadership skills.

We are proud to offer specialized trainings like Public Speaking to organizations throughout our community because confident communication creates stronger leaders, healthier teams, and more connected workplaces.

Thank you, Becca, for sharing your knowledge and helping us continue to grow together! 🌟

Silence builds walls, but shared stories build resilience.

Join us in recognizing 2026 National Mental Health Awareness Month. which focuses on the power of community. True workplace resilience doesn't happen when we push through challenges alone.

When we connect with each other, we break the silence surrounding mental health.

Stress. Burnout. Communication breakdowns.

These aren’t isolated issues—they’re patterns we consistently see across workplaces.

The challenge? Many organizations don’t address them until they escalate.

Early signs often look like:

• Increased absenteeism

• Decreased engagement

• Tension within teams

• Declining performance

Empac helps organizations move from reactive to proactive—offering support, training, and resources before challenges become a crisis.

Need help building a plan? We are here to help, and we look forward to supporting you!

💫 Employee Spotlight 💫

At empac, our people are the heart of what we do—and today we’re proud to highlight one of our incredible team members! Learn more about Chad Henkelman, MS, LMSW, LMAC, SAP-Program Manager below!

From his supervisor, Stacey Winter:
I will never forget the first time I met Chad. He was so vulnerable, so humble, and self-aware. I could tell that he had a servant’s heart- that his own struggles in life fueled him to lift others up. I experience Chad the same way each day, and he gives so much effort to improving along the way. I have been honored to watch him not only gain education and certifications, but most importantly, personal growth. Being with him, makes me a better person and motivates me to push myself. As he continues to put himself first, he shows us all how living in our values furthers our mission to heights we only once dreamed of.

Get to know Chad:
What are your hobbies and how did you get into them?
Sports card collecting. I started when I was a child and restarted it when my son was younger. I enjoy going to movies no specific genre.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
Japan- I would love to see Tokyo and other smaller cities to experience the culture and scenery.

What is the best piece of advice you've ever received?
Enjoy the journey - not waiting until the end to enjoy something you've worked hard to accomplish.

What do you enjoy most about working at empac?
I love the family environment. It's something I haven't experienced at any other job. Empac's culture and promoting people to take care of themselves. We also help a lot of people and do a great job at it.

🎤 New Specialized Training: Public Speaking That Connects & Inspires

At empac, we believe the most impactful trainings are the ones shaped directly by the needs of our partners! You asked, we listened.

We’re excited to introduce our new specialized training on Public Speaking, designed to help professionals communicate with confidence, clarity, and purpose in any setting.

Whether it’s leading a meeting, presenting to leadership, or speaking in front of a large audience, this training focuses on:

✔️ Building confidence and presence

✔️ Organizing clear, compelling messages

✔️ Managing nerves and anxiety

✔️ Engaging and connecting with your audience

Strong communication isn’t just a skill—it’s a leadership advantage.

💡 Did you know? Many workplace challenges from miscommunication to low engagement can be traced back to how messages are delivered, not just what is said.

If your team is ready to elevate their voice and impact, we’re here to help.
