INSIDE DOUGLAS COLLEGE / January 7, 1992

 

 

 

Wellness under review

   
   

Julie Roper wants to know what we
think of health and wellness at our
workplace.

Roper, a Therapeutic Recreation
Instructor, is on a leave of absence
to examine health
and wellness as they
apply to post-secon-
dary programs and
services. (Wellness
describes choices
and options in an en-
. vironment which
make it healthier and

safer.)

Part of her re-
search is addressing
needs and concerns
at Douglas College.
She is urging all

employees to respond to a one-
page Wellness Interest Survey which
will be distributed in January pay en-
velopes. She says the results will be
important for identifying employees’

concerns about wellness in their
work environment.

"The College needs to know that
people are interested and that there
are benefits to the institution such
as improved morale. In fact, there is
a lot of research that shows heal-
thier people are more motivated
and more productive," says Roper.
"We spend so much time at work,
with so little left over, that the more
we can do at work to improve our
health, the better."

Roper has also formed a Health
Promotion and Wellness Steering
Committee to examine the issue at
Douglas College*Committee
members include students, staff,
faculty, mid-managers and senior
administrators.
