Make Employee Health a Priority


                                    Businesses and employees both benefit when worksite wellness becomes a priority.
                                    At MIL, we are proud of the supportive physical and social environments many of
                                    our teams have created to promote a healthy workforce. Even small changes can
                                    have a huge impact overall. Whether it be offering healthier snacks in some of our
                                    breakrooms to incorporating standing desks in many of our offices, the benefits of
                                    prioritizing a healthy lifestyle is one way we can show MIL Cares!



        Worksite Wellness in Action


        ETS/CYBER  |  Jeffrey Bailey, Assistant Vice President




        The ETS Sector makes every attempt to prioritize employee well-being, evident in our
        commitment to creating a positive, engaging, and creative work environment at our
        primary Expedition Drive location. Our open office space is designed for collaborative
        conversations and features an openly accessible music streaming system, complete with statistics, and a Golden Tee
        machine, fostering a dynamic and productive yet fun atmosphere. For those seeking concentrated collaboration or
        a quiet space for meetings or certification study, we offer multiple breakout rooms, offices, and a dedicated study
        room.

        Our break room has become a popular space, showcasing a flight simulator and arcade games that provide
        employees with a unique and enjoyable way to recharge during breaks. Adjacent to this space is the vintage SEGA
        OutRun cabinet, adding a nostalgic touch to our hall. In our conference room, we’ve replaced ordinary tables with
        ones that transform into ping pong tables, encouraging friendly competition and promoting physical activity.

                                                       Recognizing the importance of staying active, we provide bikes
                                                       and a designated area for bike/ebike storage, allowing employees
       Did you know?                                   to commute or embark on lunch runs during warm weather.
                                                       Our focus isn’t only on physical wellness. To support mental
       #OurHearts are healthier when                   wellness, our office offers a diverse collection of card, board, and
       we move together. Physical                      tabletop games for employees to unwind during breaks or after
       activity is a great way to help                 a busy workday – even if the Catan games sometimes get a little
                                                       competitive! All of these amenities are often used.

       and aim for at least 2 1/2 hours                positive, as our diverse range of options caters to different
                                                       preferences. This approach has significantly boosted morale and
       of moderate physical activity                   overall wellness among our team members. ETS is excited to
       every week.                                     share how we’ve leveraged our space to foster a culture of fun and
                                                       collaboration, hoping to inspire other locations to incorporate
                                                       similar ideas for a healthier and more vibrant workplace.

                              The DoS building in Charleston, South Carolina has a nice gym that our team members can
                              use. People use it before/after work and for a quick workout session during lunch.
