Creating an environment that promotes well-being in all its dimensions
The University of Alberta has always been committed to providing comprehensive programs and services that promote mental well-being and work/life harmony for all employees. As a deliverable of A Culture of Care, the Workplace Mental Health and Well-being Action Plan was created to adopt a holistic, action-centric approach, including a range of initiatives and measures that aim to improve the mental well-being of our employees.

A Culture of Care
Employees have every right to expect they will return to their families healthy and safe at the end of their day. The same holds true for members of the public who access university services. An embedded safety culture means elevating health and safety to a core value within the U of A – it means a university commitment to the physical, psychological and cultural safety and well-being of the university community.
