TIAA-CREF Offers Financial Literacy Resources 
Several recent surveys have found that nearly a third of Americans have no retirement savings at all or are not taking advantage of the full suite of resources available. With more uncertainty in the economy than ever before, being part of the conversation about saving for your future has never been more important! In an effort to continue financial literacy education among Jefferson Lab staff, Human Resources is highlighting National Retirement Security Week.

Jefferson Lab Public Address System Test Set for Thursday, Oct. 20, at 5:30 p.m. 
Emergency Management Team staff will conduct the monthly test of Jefferson Lab’s Public Address System – the live audible announcement feature – available through the lab’s Cisco phones. The test is conducted after normal business hours, because it interrupts any in-progress call on a Cisco phone. Active calls are automatically put on “hold.” As soon as the announcement has ended, the Jefferson Lab person may re-activate the call. For more information, see the full memo: https://www.jlab.org/memo/thursday-oct-20-530-pm-jlab-will-test-its-public-address-system
