 Staff Information 

Action required: Log in to MyConnection to avoid access issues

There has been a recent cleanup of inactive MyConnection accounts. Accounts not accessed in over six months have been inactivated, and accounts inactive for over one year have been deleted.

If your account requires reactivation, contact MyConnection Inquiry center at 1-833-766-4390. Current turnaround time is approximately 24 hours, but higher volumes may result in delays.

Best practice: Log in at least once every three months to keep your account active as passwords expire every 90 days.

Well-being weekly video - Fulfillment

This week's video, Fulfillment, explores the difference between success and true satisfaction. You can achieve a lot and still feel empty. Fulfillment comes when your actions match what matters most to you — bringing inner peace, purpose, and energy that lasts. The video introduces a simple four-step practice: name your values, focus on the process, build small daily habits, and define success in your own words.
