Workplace Wellness Pilot
About
The Week-by-Week Workplace Wellness pilot was created to give KU faculty and staff small daily tidbits to cultivate wellness into their work lives, with minimal time investment. Participants received a brief email prompt every weekday morning, where each day’s action was designed to take minimal time, be integrated into everyday life, and have maximum impact when adopted regularly.
The pilot aims to educate and offer activities for staff and faculty related to emotional regulation, connection to others, and finding value and meaning in their works lives (and more!). Investing in staff and faculty wellbeing is beneficial for individuals-- it reduces stress, prevents burnout, and increases job satisfaction. Furthermore, employee wellbeing is crucial to the overall success of the university. Establishing a focus on staff and faculty wellbeing will help to create a more inclusive, welcoming, and respectful workplace.
