401(k) Week is here! From October 12–16, we’re taking the opportunity to focus on retirement savings and the small steps we can take today to build a stronger financial future.

Live educational webinars:

  • Monday, October 12 at 10 a.m. ET: 401(k) Educational Webinar (English)
  • Monday, October 12 at 11 a.m. ET: 401(k) Educational Webinar (Spanish)

It’s never too early to invest in your future. Our 401(k) is an employee benefit that shouldn’t be overlooked, including a company match of up to 6%. Taking advantage of the match is one way to make the most of the benefits available to you while building toward your long term financial goals.

Take some time this week to learn more, review your contributions, and make sure you’re taking advantage of this valuable benefit.

Small steps today can lead to big rewards for your future!

The holidays will be here before we know it, which means now is a great time to look ahead and plan some well deserved time off!

Full-time employees receive 2 floating holidays each year, but remember, these days expire at the end of the year. Don’t let them go unused!

Whether you use them to create a longer weekend, spend more time with family and friends, or simply take a day to recharge, make sure to schedule your floating holidays before the year comes to an end.

Consider this your reminder to take the time off you’ve earned!

Congratulations to the members of Royal American’s leadership team who recently completed Mental Health First Aid certification!

This valuable training equips participants with the knowledge and confidence to recognize the signs of mental health challenges, provide initial support, and connect individuals with appropriate resources when they need them most. By investing in education like this, we continue strengthening our ability to lead with empathy, compassion, and understanding.

Mental health impacts every community, and creating environments where people feel safe, supported, and heard is an important part of our mission. Whether serving our fellow team members or the residents who call our communities home, these newly certified leaders are helping build a stronger culture of care throughout Royal American.

As we observe Minority Mental Health Month this July, we are reminded of the importance of increasing awareness, reducing stigma, and expanding access to support for all. Thank you to everyone who completed this training and for your commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of those around you.
