What does Wellness mean to you?
Wellness is something that should be incorporated in our everyday work-life balance. It is very broad, multi-faceted and necessary to increase staff productivity to have a healthy work environment. Wellness helps staff to go back to work with fresh motivation and an overall sense of well-being. A healthy work environment is a big factor in peoples overall work satisfaction. Wellness activities give staff the opportunity to socialize and spend time together in a non-stressful environment. We strive to maintain and prioritize wellness in the Law School community.
