I wanted to make you aware of two FREE important offerings that the Red Cross has put together. These two online classes may be of interest to your staff and volunteers. Both of these courses are free and online. The courses are Returning to Work During COVID – 19: Safe Work Practices Online Course and Psychological First Aid: Helping Others in Times of Stress. 
 
Explanations of each course and information on how to register:

  1. Returning to Work During COVID – 19: Safe Work Practices Online Course:
  2. Must use code to have free access, contact me for codes
The Covid-19 pandemic is challenging employees and businesses in new ways. As employees begin returning to work, they may have questions about the measures needed to maintain safe and healthy workplaces. To help during this time, the Red Cross is offering this course. Based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Occupational Safety and Health Administrating (OSHA), the course provides safety actions that employees can take during reopening periods and includes insight into new or modified business policies and procedures implemented to maintain safe work environments. This course is designed to help with the following:
·        Facts about Covid-19 and how to limit the spread of the virus
·        The phased approach to returning to work
·        Ways to keep your coworkers and yourself safe at work
·        Ways to support your coworkers and yourself at work
·        How to keep your family safe at home
This course should take approximately 60 minutes to complete and upon completion, students will receive a certification that is valid for two years. You will need to register for this course and if interested, let me know and I will send you the registration link along with a coupon code that will allow you to take this course at no charge. Access codes are for individuals and not organizations, so if you want to train multiple people, it will be necessary for me to issue multiple codes (which is fine). Just let me know how many codes you will need.
Email donna.colon@redcross.org for registration link and coupon codes along with how many individuals want to take this training
 
  1. Psychological First Aid: Helping Others in Times of Stress
This class covers basic principles of Psychological First Aid – the practice of recognizing and responding to people experiencing crisis – related stress. This class is scheduled for 3 hours. Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
o  Recognize the signs of stress in clients, co-workers, and themselves
o  Provide immediate support to people who may be experiencing stress by using psychological first aid principles
o  Assist clients, co-workers, and themselves in connections of mental health services

Available Classes:
                            September 21, 2020 – 9:00 a.m. ET/8:00 a.m. CMT
                            September 22, 2020 – 9:00 a.m. ET/8:00 a.m. CMT

HILLROM - EMPLOYEES NEEDED

Our Batesville plant has a need to fill positions very quickly (all shifts).  I’m hoping this need will also be able to serve any labor gaps within the surrounding areas if there are production suspensions, reductions, etc from other manufacturing companies, and this will allow for openings to be filled by those who have been displaced.

These roles are/will be posted on our hillrom.com careers site for applicants to apply and be considered immediately.
