According to the Parents’ Choice site, the show “offers inspirational and educational messages along with a compelling story. And it’s enjoyable.”

Healthy headlines. The Postal Service now offers an electronic newsletter to provide employees with wellness tips, resources, healthy recipes and more.

The Wellness team produces the monthly publication, which covers all aspects of health and wellness, including physical and emotional well-being, financial security, community connections, professional fulfillment, and more.

Employees can subscribe to the newsletter on the Wellness LiteBlue page.

The CyberSafe at USPS team is reminding employees of warning signs that a computer could be compromised.

Employees should look for:

  • Files that are missing, mislabeled or edited without your knowledge
  • Strange messages or pop-ups
  • Applications opening unexpectedly
  • A slow or unstable system
  • Loss of controlled computer functions, such as use of a mouse

To avoid cyberthreats, you should confirm the email address, phone number or name of the sender before opening or responding to any messages, links or attachments.

Additionally, be careful of messages that request personal information or include grammatical or spelling mistakes.

If you suspect you are the victim of a cyberthreat, don’t engage the hacker. Notify your manager immediately and report the incident to the CyberSecurity Operations Center by sending an email to CyberSafe@usps.gov.

The CyberSafe at USPS sites on Blue, LiteBlue and usps.com have additional information.
