Your faculty, instructors and staff share a common mission: Empower students to think critically, solve problems and perform at their best both inside and outside of the classroom. But to do this, your employees need to perform at their best and they need to be resilient to stressors that could otherwise trickle down to students.
Unfortunately, faculty, teaching assistants and academic researchers report high levels of stress and low levels of physical and psychological well-being compared to individuals in other professions. They are subject to work overload and emotional labor. They experience high rates of depression, stress and anxiety that can lead to burnout.
“[I]f teaching is the main source of faculty burnout, doesn’t it follow that our teaching — and our students’ learning — will suffer the more stressed and exhausted we become?” - The Chronicle of Higher EducationHow can you ensure that you have high-performing university staff and faculty with the tools, energy and motivation to empower your students and prioritize their learning? Start by helping your institution beat stress and feel their best with a wellness program that puts them first and just works.
