Employee Health, Well-Being and Benefits

Our well-being affects everything we do at work, at home and in our community. When we are at our best psychologically, emotionally, socially, spiritually and physically, we can contribute our best in all the roles in our lives. 

At VIU, we aim to incorporate well-being as a way of thinking in all that we do, across the institution. One of VIU’s People Plan invitations to action is to “Encourage Employee Well-being”. Human Resources is committed to doing its part to foster a healthy workplace for all VIU employees, through education, awareness and resources.
