At the University of Alberta we are committed to supporting our people first because we know our success depends on it. We are committed to A Culture of Care where psychological, cultural and physical safety are at the heart of health and well-being.
We approach learning about health and well-being as an opportunity for you to map your own path toward health, happiness and a state of well-being. While these paths may be different for each of us there are also common experiences in the workplace that require specific attention: the toll that workload and work-related stress take on our sense of well-being and the need to build connections that rely on a culture of trust and respect.
We deeply value your interest in and participation in our learning opportunities toward health and well-being. The recent People Strategy results reinforce our learning curriculum framework and provide general themes to focus our attention in the coming years.

LEARNING FRAMEWORK
Central to our learning framework are core human needs, personal values + purpose, interconnectedness within a caring workplace. The four pillars in this learning framework are employee centered, holistic and proactive. Alignment of these pillars lead to life-work harmony and enables our employees to thrive in their work roles.
