The flag used previously flew over a base in Afghanistan, where a previous colleague was deployed. He generously donated the flag to Thomson Reuters, and we are proud to raise it each Veteran's Day.

Every year, our teammates have two paid Mental Health Days Off: one in May and one in October. Last Monday marked our second Global Mental Health Day Off in 2023.

A few weeks ago, our London office hosted a business resource group event. In London, we have six local chapters: Pride at Work, Women at Thomson Reuters, the Black Employee Network, the Disability Employee Network, the Early Careers Network, and the Veterans Network. This event provided an excellent opportunity to promote awareness and understanding of the diverse backgrounds and experiences represented throughout our organization. We were able to connect and engage in meaningful conversations. The team was also able to raise £400 for the Trussell Trust, an organization committed to ending hunger and poverty in the UK through the bake sale at the event. A big thank you to everyone who came out to connect with our teammates!
"I discovered Thomson Reuters offers a sabbatical program for employees as part of our Flex My way benefits program. The sabbatical program launched last year provides colleagues the opportunity to take up to six months of unpaid leave every five years. After learning more about it, I knew it was the reset I needed." Bethany, a Vice President in Digital Marketing, shares how she was able to find balance and magic through both work and rest as part of her sabbatical journey. Read Bethany's full story here:
"Last week, I made good use of the Thomson Reuters Work from Anywhere policy to visit Singapore, and I was able to check a major item off my bucket list: experience the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. I have wanted to visit Singapore for ages and cherished every minute of this perfect trip. Thank you to all the old and new friends who made time to catch up. I will definitely be back soon!"

It's time for a #BeYouAtTR feature! Meet Andrea, who has been on our team for almost four years and is part of the FindLaw Performance Team. "I am originally from El Salvador in Central America, where I was born and raised. I currently live in Minnesota. Hispanic Heritage Month is a special time for me, celebrating the uniqueness and beauty of Hispanic culture, its diversity, traditions, and contributions. It's a chance to showcase our heritage and educate others about its significance. I joined the Latino Employee Network because I believe in the power of unity and representation. It's crucial to have a platform where we can amplify our voices, support one another, and foster a more inclusive workplace. Recently, thanks to the Latino Employee Network, I was able to participate in a commercial campaign with Telemundo, “Mujeres Imparables” (“Unstoppable Women” in English), that aired during the Women’s World Cup. This experience was truly special, I was able to share a little bit about my background and journey into my digital marketing career and was able to meet and learn from other amazing working professional Hispanic women. Being a member of this group means a lot to me. It's about solidarity in the workplace and creating a mutually supportive network. Participation in the group also ensures that our community's voice is heard and contributes to a more inclusive environment." Andrea, Digital Marketing Analyst, Minneapolis
What does connection mean to you? Throughout October, Thomson Reuters has chosen to focus on the importance of connection as we recognize Mental Health Month. Today, in honor of World Mental Health Day, we’re sharing a story from one of our teammates about the power of connection with a colleague who has become a lifelong friend. “I had never been camping, canoeing, or portaging. With my father passing away when I was young, I didn’t get a chance to experience those stereotypical father/son adventures. Now that I am a father of young kids, I want to provide those experiences for my children and I know the benefits it can have to your mental health. So when my friend and colleague, Jeff, invited me to join him and his friends on a group trip to the Boundary Waters in Northern Minnesota, I jumped at the opportunity. I landed in Minneapolis carrying my life in two bags and embarked on a week-long adventure that included exploring black sand beaches, navigating challenging portages, encountering a mama moose and her baby, and witnessing shooting stars. I'm thankful for the opportunity to connect with fantastic people in my organization and for a team that allowed me to disconnect from the internet for the first time in my career. If there's one thing I'd like to convey, it's to make the most of your flexible benefits, embrace the unknown, prioritize your mental health, and say yes to life's opportunities.” Jeff, Director of Engineering, United States
