Employee Well-being Spotlights
Fostering a culture of well-being starts with people who intentionally weave healthy practices and perspectives into the rhythm of their workday—both for themselves and for those around them. To celebrate and learn from these efforts, Employee Health & Well-Being launched the Well-being Spotlight Series. Through these features, we shine a light on faculty and staff who model what it looks like to center well-being in their roles. Their experiences not only honor the impact they’re making but also offer real-life examples that can spark ideas and motivation for others seeking to bring more well-being into their own routines.
Well-being Collective
Created after the adoption of the Okanagan Charter in 2023, the CU Boulder Well-being Collective is an interdisciplinary group of staff and faculty promoting health and well-being across campus. We prioritize both individual skill development and creating environments and systems that foster health.
The Collective:
- Utilizes evidence-based strategies to address goals in the areas of people (individuals), place (environments and communities) and planet (sustainability)
- Works with campus research partners to evaluate effectiveness and reiterate goals and strategies as needed to be responsive to campus needs
Training and Outreach
Employee Health and Well-Being offers a variety of trainings, presentations and outreach programs designed to support the emotional and psychological well-being of CU Boulder faculty and staff. Through workshops, certificate programs and virtual learning opportunities, employees can explore topics such as stress management, self-care and mental health awareness while building the skills to support themselves and others.
