Learn skills for how to share feedback with your supervisors and/or coworkers to solve challenges, create a better work environment and/or more positive work culture!

There's still time... the session starts in one hour! To join, let Lorie know. lroth@coonrapids.com.

Do the Penguin Walk!

C'mon... Everybody's doing it!

We all know it's cold and slippery out there right now. The Human Resources department wants to remind you to tread lightly and Avoid Slips, Trips & Falls.

Bend slightly and walk flat footed.
Point your feet out slightly like a penguin.
Keep your arms at your sides – not in your pockets!
Take shorter, shuffle-like steps.
Watch where you step!
Go SLOWLY!

Print this Winter Safety Flyer to display in your department area!
