As the winter months approach, so does flu season. It’s something we think about every year at this time, but it’s different this season as we continue to battle COVID-19. Even in an ordinary year, it may be hard to tell if those sniffles you have are allergies, a common cold or the beginnings of influenza (flu). But this year, we can add COVID-19 to the list of suspects.

During these stressful times, you may find that you need a little support. Your Transocean Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and WorkLife Services benefit, available through Optum, are here to help you 24/7 365 days a year.

As your kids head back to school this fall, you may be feeling overwhelmed with all of the things you need to plan and get done. This is generally a stressful time of year for parents, but this year there is even more to consider. At the top of your list may be planning how you will help your child transition back to school safely and protect not only their physical health but their emotional health, too.
