Boost Your Social Wellness: Empty Nest Edition

It’s that time of year again—backpacks are packed, lunch boxes are loaded, and shoes are mysteriously disappearing right before you need to leave. For some parents, the back-to-school season means adjusting to an empty nest as kids head off to college or move out. Balancing this transition while managing work can feel like walking a tightrope. But fear not! Fresenius is here to support the Total You, helping you find support and add some pizzazz to your social wellness game.

Finding Your Tribe with ERGs

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are like secret societies, but without the secret handshakes. For those transitioning to an empty nest, joining a Parent ERG can be a lifesaver. They’re groups within your workplace that bring together people with similar experiences, offering a space to share stories, tips, and a few laughs about the newfound silence at home.
