Maximizing Workplace Relationships; February 19; 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m.; free. Effective communication is the key to productive workplace relationships and overall job satisfaction.

You’ll also get an overview of the types of peer pressure children face at school and suggestions for how to help your child deal with them.
Nutrition Workshops
If you’re like most people, you have plenty of questions about nutrition: What should I eat before and after a workout? How can I choose smarter, healthier foods at the grocery store or in a restaurant? Which vitamins should I be taking, if any? Get answers to these questions and more when you join Human Resources for an ongoing series of nutrition workshops. For more information about the workshops and to register, visit www.hr.upenn.edu/Quality/Wellness/Workshops.aspx or contact Human Resources at (215) 898-5116 or suzsmith@upenn.edu.
5-a-Day-the-Color-Way; February 26; noon–1 p.m.; free. Do you know whether you’re getting enough color in your diet? Come to this workshop to learn about which fruits and vegetables make up the five color groupings (Blue/Purple, Green, White, Yellow/Orange, and Red) and why having a variety of these types of foods in your diet each day can make a big difference to your health. You’ll also learn about food preparation tips and receive menu ideas to help you easily incorporate what you learn into your daily diet. This workshop will be led by Suzanne Smith, health promotion specialist, Quality of Worklife Department, Human Resources.
