Wellness and recovery don't have to come from life-changing events. Often, they’re built on small, repeatable steps that we take every day.

Take a moment today to celebrate your progress. Did you get out of bed? Eat nutritious food? Hold one important boundary? Show up for an appointment? Ask someone for help?

If you're comfortable sharing, comment with one small win you’re proud of this week so we can cheer you on! 🙌

Happy Clean Off Your Desk Day! Did you know that a dirty, cluttered workspace can have a negative impact on your mental well-being? 😯

Studies have shown that spending time in chaotic environments tends to increase our stress levels, which can lead to feelings of anxiety, depressed mood, or even physical symptoms like headaches and sleep loss. What's more, cluttered work environments can make it difficult to focus on tasks, as we might have difficulty finding things we need or have our attention constantly drawn to other objects in our view. 😵‍💫

These are all wonderful reasons to maintain a neat and tidy desk or work station! Why not take a few minutes today to organize your work space and get the year started on the right foot?

For more information and tidying tips, check out the following post from our blog: https://www.tetraprime.consulting/r/52x

Do you have a desk or dedicated work space at your job, or even in your home office? If you do, take a moment to examine it the next time you’re using it.

This Sunday, January 11th is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day, also known as . 💙

Human trafficking is a hidden crisis that affects millions worldwide, including right here in Indiana. Many victims are not kidnapped or physically restrained—instead, they are manipulated, coerced, or deceived into exploitation. It can happen to anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background.

This , you can take a stand against human trafficking. By wearing blue and sharing a photo on social media with the hashtag , you help raise awareness, spark important conversations, and show support for survivors. The more people who know the signs of trafficking, the better we can prevent it and protect those at risk. ✊

January is National Mentoring Month! Have you ever had a mentor in your personal or professional life? Who was that person, and what did their care and guidance mean to you? 🤔

At Cummins, we believe mentorship is a critical part of growth and development. That’s why we partner all of our new employees with coaches, or "onboarding specialists", to help them get acclimated to their role.

Check out this post from our blog to learn how we support and nurture all of our incoming team members: https://www.tetraprime.consulting/r/P86

If you have, take a moment to think about what that person did for you and what it meant to you. Maybe they helped guide you through a difficult situation in life that you didn’t know how to navigate on your own. Or perhaps they helped you make an important decision that changed your future for th...

Today, we would like to share a team shout-out from one Cummins employee to another! This spotlight comes from Dawn Pruitt, who wished to recognize Bryant DeSadier for exhibiting the Cummins value of Innovation.

Dawn writes:

"I cannot think of a leadership level meeting, work group, new project or task group that does not involve Bryant DeSadier in some manner. He is almost always assigned to new action items. Bryant is involved in so many new workflows and processes for improvement and innovation throughout Cummins. The new patient portal that is to launch in 2026—he has been a key player in its development. The implementation of the Indiana Health Information Exchange connecting Cummins with other health agencies for sharing patient health information—he was instrumental in the process. Development of the data reporting, data uploading, and participating in meetings with DARMHA and Indiana Data Committees for CCBHC data metrics—Bryant has been heavily involved. He was a key staff member in the electronic health record change from MedInformatix to SmartCare, and not only manages the current EHR, he continues to build reports to best utilize the system for providers, leaders, and the billing department. Bryant strives to improve processes that make sense and ease burdens on staff. The best part is that he does it all with a smile. He is transparent when asked to do something, stating that it may take some time or additional effort or a larger team approach, but he does not shy away from the challenge at hand; he embraces the challenge and embraces innovation."

We would like to thank Bryant for living out our value of Innovation in his work, and Dawn for this lovely write-up recognizing Bryant's efforts!
