The weather this Saturday will be perfect for the Children Today 5k/10k Run/Walk Races. We hope everyone is as excited as we are!

As a way to make the Children Today races even more exciting and to encourage participation, FreeConferenceCall created an internal contest with the members of the Long Beach office.  We were randomly divided into groups of 8-9 members and each team came up with clever team names, like Bridges of Mass Communication and Kenya Catch Me to name a few.

Stay Healthy During this Cold Season

Winter is the season when you are prone to getting sick. This means you need to prevent a cold before it even begins. We understand this is difficult given that many of us work in an office environment and most of the time we hear our co-workers coughing and before we know it we are in a room full of germs. We need to take it upon ourselves to keep healthy. Today FreeConferenceCall will give you helpful tips on how to prevent a cold this winter.

  1. Wash your Hands- We can’t emphasize this enough. It is also a good idea to keep sanitizer around the office and by your desk.
  2. Keep Hydrated- By drinking fluids your body will be stronger to fight infection. We recommend water, natural juices, and green tea.
  3. Get Enough Sleep and Don’t Stress- When we are tired and overwhelmed our body doesn’t have the strength to fight a cold. Get plenty of sleep every night. You can also try yoga and meditation to release stress.

However, if worse comes to worse and you are sick don’t panic, stay home and don’t get the rest of your office sick as well. Unfortunately, work doesn’t stop and sometimes you still need to keep working while sick and for this you have your FreeConferenceCall account! Work from home and conduct telephone conferences instead of coming in to work. This will help you get better sooner and you don’t spread the infection to everyone else. Read More...
