Employee Benefits & Campus Community Resources

We strive to support an environment that allows faculty and staff to flourish both professionally and personally.

Employee Benefits – Human Resources Carleton University is a leading academic institution that is also one of Ottawa’s best places to work. We are committed to creating an outstanding workplace – and one way we do this is by offering our employees an extensive benefits package to support their continued health and well-being.	Canada Life – Health Connected Health Connected, offered by Canada Life, contains a series of health and wellness related resources available to Carleton University employees. Health Connected sheds light on your health risks and health skills to show you where you stand and where to focus.
GoodLife Fitness Corporate Membership Carleton faculty and staff now have access to a GoodLife Fitness Corporate Membership! Both new and existing GoodLife members can take advantage of this great offer.	Workplace Strategies For Mental Health Tools and resources for workplace mental health and psychological safety. Free resources on accommodation, conflict, burnout, stress, managing change, supporting newcomers, union issues, return to work, performance and more.

Workplace health and well-being intersects with crucial considerations around accessibility, equity, diversity, and safety. A psychologically safe, respectful, and inclusive workplace environment provides a foundation for employee health and well-being as well as organizations effectiveness.

Health and Counselling Services (HCS) Health and Counselling Services (HCS) is a multidisciplinary healthcare facility that provides medical services and counselling services to Carleton University students, faculty and staff (if they do not have a family doctor in the community, as our doctors will not be paid if they are rostered under another physician). They may also see the walk-in doctor for episodic care. Professional Services employees, faculty, contract instructors, and continuing employees have a dedicated physician and may use this service as their regular family doctor (if they do not have a family doctor in the community, as our doctors will not be paid if they are rostered under another physician).

Learning & Professional Development Learning and Professional Development at Carleton is dedicated to providing opportunities for Carleton University employees to enhance individual skills and abilities, meet professional goals and continue career development.
Service Excellence at Carleton Whether you interact primarily with students, faculty, staff or external partners, your commitment to serve the community in which you work is one of the most valuable assets you bring to Carleton University every day. Service Excellence offers a unique opportunity for you to get involved and shape your work environment in a positive way.
Student Wellness There are many resources available on campus for students to improve their health and well-being. University success is achieved by not only maintaining good study habits and attending class, but also by taking care of yourself. There are many resources and services on campus and in the community to help you better understand, manage and improve your mental health and wellness throughout your degree and beyond.
Sustainability Carleton A whole-university approach to sustainability. Carleton University has a strong commitment to embedding continuous environmental and sustainable improvement into our operations. We continue to seek new and innovative ways to demonstrate our sustainability leadership in research, teaching, learning, and operations. This commitment allows us to reduce our collective impact while ensuring that both existing and future generations of students, staff, and faculty continue to enjoy our unique campus.
Therapy Dog program The Carleton University Therapy Dog Program is our in-house Therapy Dog Program, designed to bring positive (or as we say, paws-itive) mental health and wellness supports to our community. All of our dogs are handled by professional staff and faculty members at Carleton, and their Handlers work to create welcoming and supportive environments that can provide low intensity, yet effective coping strategies for mental health and wellness.
