The Healthy Workplace Committee is committed to creating a healthy, safe, and supportive work environment for our campus, especially in this new world of working remotely. Through combined partnerships across our University, we have established a network of connections to provide employees with resources to help maintain that healthy workplace environment while some of us work in the “new normal” of the home office.
