After your screening, you will receive an email to set up your virtual health coaching appointment to review your results. If you have any questions, please reach out to Holly Winkler.
Mother's Day
Let’s Celebrate our Thompson Thrift Moms!
We know this past year was challenging for everyone. Parents (especially mothers) had to find ways to adjust and overcome many challenges while balancing work and home-life. We recognize that dedication and want to celebrate YOU. Please send a photo of you with your kids (or fur babies) to Lily Tikijian by the end of the day on Friday, April 30th to be included in a special Mother’s Day presentation. We will use the photos in a video collage on our social media pages and throughout ScreenCloud in our corporate oces and Watermark properties. Happy early Mother’s Day!

Training & Development
Leader Training
Frontline Leader Training with Kelley School of Business
Did you know that our Frontline Leaders have the most contact with our clients, residents, and vendors, and they are responsible for managing over 250 team members in our organization? This is why we call this group of team members "frontline" and why it is vital that these individuals reflect Living the Core and continue to cultivate excellence in their management responsibilities.
Talent Management
Introducing Bridge
We are excited to announce that we have chosen Bridge as our talent management platform to host our goal-setting & performance review processes. It is a very straightforward, easy-to-use, robust tool. Bridge is a talent and learning system that will also replace Litmos by the end of the year. However, we don't want to overwhelm anyone with this new technology so we plan to introduce the platform one piece at a time over the next several months. We will first use Bridge in our mid-year performance reviews.
IT Tip of the Week
Tip: Using Office web apps in your browser
Office web apps are a handy feature to take advantage of in a pinch. In many cases they can do the majority of the work that the full desktop applications can. In the case of an Office program having an issue, you can take advantage of the web version of Office to get you by.
