The University of Sheffield
Human Resources

The University of Sheffield considers that the health and wellbeing of its staff is a major HR priority for the coming year and beyond. The University has for sometime offered a range of wellbeing services and support to its 6,000 staff, including the provision of a Staff Occupational Health Service, staff counselling, training and development opportunities and an employee assistance helpline. However, the University now wishes to remodel and augment its offer to staff through the creation and promotion of wellness, through treating people as individuals and taking into account their range of social, mental and physical needs. The University is in the process of developing a new and highly innovative “Work Well” strategy to address the three strands of wellness. - so please watch this space.
