Benefits of Wellness
At the College
Employee wellness is so important to the college that it is part of our core values, encouraging individuals to invest time and effort in their well-being. This personal attention builds rapport and collegiality, communicates to employees that they are valued, reduces time lost to illness and injury and enhances performance.
In the Community
Between work and family obligations, it can be hard to make time for one’s personal well-being. Consider a yoga class during your lunch break, take a walk or bike between classes, or enjoy a quiet moment of reflection at Willow Lake.
Around the World
Global cultures embody wellness in different ways. French cuisine includes rich and satisfying foods which is compatible with an active lifestyle. Asian cuisine tends to feature many colorful and healthy vegetables. The “slow food” movement reminds us to enjoy planning and preparing meals as well as eating them.
