What is Healthy Workplace?

Carleton University’s Healthy Workplace journey began in 2009 and has since progressed to reach national levels of recognition, including comprehensive programming and resources, and fosters a strong community and culture around workplace wellness. 

Healthy Workplace has served as a source of stability and support for the Carleton community for the past 17 years. The well-being challenges faced by Carleton faculty and staff are increasingly complex and include factors that reside both within and beyond the workplace. Healthy Workplace is dedicated to helping Carleton University cultivate an environment where health and well‑being are woven into all aspects of our work and campus community.

In alignment with the 2025-2028 Healthy Workplace Strategic Plan, the resources, programming, and learning opportunities offered through Healthy Workplace serve create opportunities for social connection and interaction, foster safe and inclusive environments, and embrace a holistic culture of well-being.

Health Workplace supports a culture of belonging where the faculty and staff community can flourish both professionally and personally, connect with one another in meaningful ways, explore opportunities for continued learning and personal growth, and feel empowered to fully participate and contribute positively to the workplace.
