Celebrate Employee Wellness Month
Each June is National Employee Wellness Month. 2023 marks the eleventh year employers around the country are encouraged to focus on the well-being of their employees. CU Boulder faculty and staff have access to programs and resources to support their physical, mental, emotional and other dimensions of wellness.
Focus on employee wellness
Throughout June, CU Boulder has offered programs, events and resources to remind faculty and staff to prioritize wellness. Whether using your vacation time to recharge, attending or resting in a nap pod, faculty and staff are encouraged to find ways to promote your well-being.
