Context<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we launch the 2025-2028 Healthy Workplace Strategic Plan, we are starting from a place of strength and experience. Our Healthy Workplace Journey began in 2009 and has since progressed to reach national levels of recognition, including comprehensive programming and resources, and fosters a strong community and culture around workplace wellness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthy Workplace has served as a source of stability and support for the 杏吧原创 community for the past 16 years. It will continue to be a crucial resource as we navigate the next several years together. The well-being challenges faced by 杏吧原创 faculty and staff are increasingly complex and include factors that reside both within and beyond the workplace. This strategic plan was created with input from members across the 杏吧原创 community including staff, managers, faculty members, subject-matter experts and key stakeholders. Financial stress, mental health and psychological safety, work-life balance, and challenges related to maintaining physical health have all been identified as areas of concern within our community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ability to adapt is crucial in uncertain times, and Healthy Workplace is committed to continuing to support 杏吧原创 faculty and staff by providing resources, supporting skill development, and nurturing connections within our community. 杏吧原创 University has and continues to rise to the challenges facing our organization, the sector, and the world. This plan recognizes that the language, perceptions, and nuances around ideas about workplace wellness have evolved and will continue to evolve over time to reflect our current context. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aspiration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Healthy Workplace exists to support 杏吧原创 University in being a workplace where health and well-being are infused into every aspect of our work and community, where ultimately everyone can flourish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pursuits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We see workplace health and well-being as a collective responsibility where every member of the community has an important role to play and invaluable contributions to make. A healthy workplace occurs at every level and area of the organization and requires ongoing engagement and effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the spirit of continuing our commitment to a healthy workplace, this strategy outlines a series of interconnected pursuits<\/em> \u2013 intentional areas of activity aligned with key themes that reflect our current context and the needs identified by our community. Priorities have been identified for each pursuit that serve to advance progress over the life of the strategy and support continued alignment to the aspiration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pursuit 1: Creating opportunities for social connection and interaction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Social wellness in the workplace provides a sense of connection that supports an individual\u2019s ability to navigate setbacks, cope with feelings of loneliness, manage day-to-day stress, and feel a sense of community within their work life. Social wellness is directly connected to mental health and is crucial for creating a supportive and inclusive environment where employees feel valued as individuals, connected with their peers, and empowered in their work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthy Workplace contributes to social wellness on campus by fostering a sense of community and belonging through creating opportunities for faculty and staff to connect in meaningful ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
