Employee Well-being at Work
The Employee Well-being at Work event for faculty and staff in August will promote physical health, one of the Healthy Boiler Pillars of Wellness.
Health coach Lindsay Bloom will discuss the benefits of foam rolling in a Healthy Boiler Virtual Workshop and then will offer a 15-minute exercise foam rolling class for you to learn the exercises.
These classes also help reinforce this month's Healthy Boiler challenge—stretch or foam roll for 10-15 minutes a day.

Employee Well-being at Work is a program where the Employee Well-being team will be available to meet with faculty and staff each month. Our team is focused on working for you and your well-being.
Each month we will visit a different building and offer health and well-being tips or health checks, healthy snacks, giveaways, and information about upcoming events and programs.
