Gary Sinise Foundation Kicks Off Its Snowball Express Program for Gold Star Families with Presenting Sponsor American Airlines

The holidays can be especially challenging for grieving families of fallen military heroes. On December 8, 2018, the Gary Sinise Foundation's Snowball Express program will host a five-day experience for 1,722 children of the fallen and their surviving parent or guardian. This therapeutic retreat will offer fun and inspiring programs, encouraging critical peer-to-peer support for these families.

No matter where a Gold Star Family may be in their grieving process, Snowball Express aims to provide a memorable experience where they can access support, create new bonds, make positive memories, and build a community with the only people who can truly understand their loss: each other. Read all the latest news.

Snowball Express began in 2006, with a letter written by a fallen soldier to his wife, only to be opened should he perish in battle. While the letter expressed many things, one wish was that they visit Disneyland. From that letter, Snowball Express was created to bring together the children and surviving spouses of fallen U.S. military heroes for a healing retreat.

The Gary Sinise Foundation will unite these Gold Star Families in a way that honors that initial letter from the fallen soldier- at Disney World®. In addition, families will have direct access to complimentary resources such as counseling services, application support for educational scholarships, education and access to medical and government benefits, financial counseling and assistance, mentoring, and aid for those with special needs or disabilities. Snowball Express will offer a variety of activities and entertainment, including a concert from Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band.

"While Snowball Express has been around since 2006, this is its first year as an official a program of the Foundation and our first year at Disney World," said Gary Sinise, Founder of the Gary Sinise Foundation. "We are so grateful that American Airlines continues their tradition of traveling our Gold Star families from all around the country for this amazing healing event. We can't wait to see our 1,722 Snowball family members!"

This trip is made possible by the Foundation's generous donors and presenting sponsor American Airlines, who provide the air travel, flight crews and hundreds of team member volunteers, donating their time and energy to make it a memorable experience for each family. There will be 12 chartered flights, departing from 26 cities to pick up the Snowball Express families.

"This event is a favorite among the American Airlines team and I am proud to work with so many generous colleagues, not only those who have donated their time to fly and serve the families in the air, but those who have spent countless hours coordinating gate-side sendoffs in scores of airports around the country," said David Seymour, Senior Vice President, Integrated Operations at American Airlines and graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point. "Snowball Express is an impressive event that continues to grow every year and it is our deep privilege to partner with the Gary Sinise Foundation to honor our Gold Star families. As a company, and as a nation, we owe it to them to never forget the sacrifice that continues long after the war is over."

Is Turnover A Generational Thing? New Study Reveals: Why Millennials, Gen X, & Boomers Quit Their Job

A 2016 survey conducted by Deloitte indicates that by the year 2020, two in three Millennials are expected to hand in their resignation and quit their job. But it's not just a salary issue, according to research from PsychTests, turnover isn't a plague of the young either. The researchers call attention to factors all employers will need to look out for if they hope to keep talented employees, both younger and older. Read news here.

Analyzing data from nearly 500 people who took their Turnover Probability Test, PsychTests' researchers found the reasons for quitting weren't limited to one or two grievances, and were not the same across generations. Here's what their study revealed:

Be alert to read related news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/canine-camp-getaway-of-ny-dog-vacation.html

REASON1: PRACTICALITY (e.g. long commute, company in bad neighborhood)

Millennials are willing to tolerate some inconveniences for a good job, but Generation Xers and Boomers are less likely to do so.

REASON 2: PERSONAL ISSUES (e.g. illness, care for ailing family member)

Read all the related news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/04/new-website-gkcouponscom-makes-it-easy_30.html

Surprisingly, both Millennials and Boomers are equally likely to quit their job to become a caregiver, or if their own well-being was at risk.

REASON 3: LACK OF WORK-LIFE BALANCE

Millennials want to be able to set clear boundaries between their work life and their personal life. While they are dedicated to their job, they clearly grasp the concept of working to live, not living to work.

REASON 4: OFFICE POLITICS

Some people are willing to do anything to reach the top of the ladder, including sucking up to the boss, stealing credit for good ideas, gossiping or spreading rumors, as well as backstabbing and lying. This particular pet peeve bothers Generation Xers the most, as many of them are in the prime of their career and have worked hard to climb the ranks. Read latest news here.

REASON 5: SEXUAL HARASSMENT

All three generations seem to agree that sexual harassment does not belong in the workplace, with nearly half showing a willingness to quit as a result of being exposed to inappropriate and unwanted advances in the office.

REASON 6: BULLYING

Bullying isn't limited to the schoolyard anymore, and perhaps never was.This is an issue employers need to take a serious look at, as the impact of workplace bullying on employees can be quite serious. More than half of the three generations would quit if they were bullied at work.

REASON 7: MICROMANAGMENT

A nitpicky, controlling manager is enough to drive any employee crazy, but it appears to be a major pet peeve for almost half of Baby Boomers. This may be particularly true for those who have decades of work experience and therefore, don't want or need to have their hand held by overly involved manager.

REASON 8: BEING UNDERPAID OR UNDERCOMPENSATED

An unfair salary isn't the only reason Millennials would quit, but it is one of the main ones. Most Millennials are likely to know the salary standards of their industry, and are not afraid to ask for what they want. They may also be more willing than other generations to risk instability and seek employment elsewhere if their salary desires are not met, a luxury, many Generation Xers and Boomers cannot afford, given their mortgages, other debt, and a growing family.

Read all the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/rescale-and-remcom-bring-nvidia-gpu.html

REASON 9: NO ROOM FOR GROWTH OR ADVANCEMENT

With many Millennials starting their career or wanting to firmly establish it, moving up is important. The Millennials hired today are likely to want to be the managers of tomorrow. A dead-end job with no room to grow is enough to compel more than half of Millennials to walk out the door. More info here.

REASON 10: BOREDOM AND/OR LACK OF CHALLENGE

While a lack of upward mobility may not matter much to Boomers – as many may have already climbed to the top of the ranks – a lack of challenge DOES bother them. Baby Boomers don't mind hard work and want their skills to be put to good use. They hate to be bored and unproductive, as do Millennials and Generation Xers, to a slightly lesser degree.

REASON 11: STARTING A BUSINESS

More than a third of Millennials have entrepreneurial aspirations, which means, if the right opportunity came along, they would be willing to leave a steady, stable job to break out on their own into the business world.

REASON 12: STRUGGLING COMPANY

If a company is struggling financially, some Millennials and Generation Xers won't hesitate to abandon ship (and Boomers, to a much lesser extent). But loyalty and organizational commitment isn't something these generational groups take lightly. As PsychTests' stats reveal, most employees are willing to stick with their company through thick and thin.

"In terms of likelihood of turnover, our study revealed no significant differences between groups," explains Dr. Jerabek, president of PsychTests. "Essentially, Millennials are no more likely than other cohorts to quit their job, which may be counter to what many organizations have been led to believe as a result of back-lashing articles denouncing Millennial employees. What's important for managers to take note of is, of the 14 reasons why employees would quit their job, at least half are a result of circumstances that can be controlled. For example, bullying, harassment, and office politics are issues managers must take more seriously, and perhaps even go as far as to adopt a no-tolerance policy. Micromanaging tendencies can be avoided by promoting managers based on more than just their technical knowledge - they must also have the emotional intelligence and personality to lead. The point is, when it comes to turnover, it's not an external issue; it's not a simple matter of selfish, money hungry employees. If your company's turnover rate is high (and/or higher than the average rates in your industry), it's time to take a serious look at not just your hiring process, but also engagement, morale, employee compensation, employee motivation, and stress levels company wide."

whiskerDocs Supports Human-Animal Bond Research and the Pet Effect in the Workplace with HABRI

The Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI) announced today that whiskerDocs, the leading provider of telehealth support for pet parents, has become an official supporter of HABRI and its research on the human health benefits of companion animals.

"By supporting the advancement of human-animal bond research, whiskerDocs is demonstrating its commitment to the human-animal bond and the positive role that healthy pets play in our lives," said Steven Feldman, Executive Director of HABRI. "HABRI is proud to have the support of whiskerDocs, which is doing innovative work to support pet owners striving to take great care of their pets."

Recognizing the role of pets as family members, whiskerDocs was started to help pet parents receive unbiased support from veterinary professionals in making the best decisions on behalf of their pets. The whiskerDocs team is available 24 hours a day and provides on-demand support via tech-enabled channels, including live chat, phone, mobile messaging and more. whiskerDocs' clients partners include employers, pet insurance companies such as Pets Best and Embrace, and pet services companies such as Rover.com and Pethealth.

"Pet owners want to ensure their whiskered family members are healthy and happy at all times, because the human-animal bond is so important to their own happiness and well-being," said Deb Leon, CEO of whiskerDocs. "As the role of pets in society continues to evolve and the demands of pet owners continue to rise, whiskerDocs will be there to make certain that each and every pet owner has immediate, trusted access to professional veterinary guidance and help. We look forward to working with HABRI to help more people and pets lead worry-free, healthy lives together."

Scientific evidence increasingly shows that pets improve heart health; alleviate depression; increase well-being; support child health and educational development; and contribute to healthy aging.

New research also shows that pet-supportive workplaces that include pet-services (like veterinary telehealth and pet insurance) boost employee attraction, engagement and retention. When employers support pet owners, employees are more likely to feel highly connected to their company's mission, become more fully engaged with their work, and are more willing to recommend their employer to others. Additionally, employees at pet friendly workplaces are 52% more likely to report a positive working relationship with their boss and 53% more likely to report a positive working relationship with their co-workers, compared to just 14% and 19% among those in non-pet friendly environments.

"When employers help employees take care of their pets, it has a huge payoff," Feldman added. "whiskerDocs, which can be offered as an employee benefit, provides another important way to provide that support."

whiskerDocs is headquartered in Skokie, IL, and supports over 1 million pet parents throughout North America. Since 2011, whiskerDocs has been providing advice to pet parents for behavior, emergency, wellness care, training, and questions about symptoms. Visit whiskerdocs.com to learn more.

The Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI) is a not-for-profit organization that maintains the world's largest online library of human-animal bond research and information; funds innovative research projects to scientifically document the health benefits of companion animals; and informs the public about human-animal bond research and the beneficial role of companion animals in society.
