"For myself to care about my well-being, CTA needed to take the initiative to embed that in our culture, and they did. Coming into CTA from another company, I am beyond shocked at how much CTA truly cares about their employees' well-being. I have never been with a company that puts in the effort to ensure their well-being program covers mental, physical, and financial health inside and outside the office. They always encourage healthy options, and I now make that decision subconsciously. CTA makes made me realize that your well-being should come first and that everyone's journey is different." – Kayla Belovich, Specialist, Finance and Business Administration

My team has leaned in and assisted me every step of the way. They have encouraged mental breaks, lending a hand, and being supportive.

Another unique aspect of the program is that it is embedded in the organization's culture through the significant efforts of our Human Resources team, resulting in a very high percentage of active, meaningful participation from our staff.

Marcie Kroeker is part of the U.S. CSG Marketing Communications Strategic Offerings team. . Early in her career, she went through a stressful period in her life and found herself crying a lot and experiencing intense back pain. She started going to therapy for the first time and learned strategies for reducing stress and making work less integral to her identity. She also learned she was suffering from chronic depression and anxiety. Three years later, she is still going to therapy regularly and working on prioritizing self-care, which she claims has saved her life.

For Marcie, self-care is about not pushing herself beyond her limits. She describes herself as "insanely ambitious," which she says is excellent for career growth but detrimental to her physical and mental health. She's learned to set personal and professional boundaries, saying "no" when she can't take on anymore. When feeling sad or depressed, she finds it helpful to spend time with family members or hike with her dog, soaking up the quiet in nature. She also realizes it's okay not to be happy always.
