Campus Impact

CULTURE OF WELL-BEING Well-being is a state of optimal health, happiness and purpose. Two of the biggest contributors to well-being are individual behaviors and one’s environment. The workplace environment has a major impact on employee well-being.

Employees who report high well-being in their lives are more engaged at work.
