Work Relationships
Think about…
- Are you involved in a career or volunteer work that fits your values? If retired, are you planning to do something every day?
- Do you have an open line of communication with your employer/ coworkers?
- Does your work offer personal satisfaction and stimulation, and allow you to contribute your talents, gifts, and knowledge?
Resources…
- Think about where you are in your career and life and pursue jobs that will work well within that framework.
- Explore all of your career options and review jobs on Careerbuilder.com or Monster.com.
- If you receive disability benefits, explore your work options without losing SSI/SSDI benefits until you can support yourself. To calculate the amount you can earn, go to: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/EN-05-10069.pdf
- Talk to your employer/ coworkers about how they like to communicate so everyone can be responsive to individual needs and work styles.
- When something is not working at work, let people know what would help.
