Three Virtual Offerings to Spark Joy and Encourage Self-Care This Valentine’s Day

Even though it’s not mentioned in the job description, stress management is no doubt a daily part of your life in higher ed HR. Prioritizing well-being is also at the forefront of strategies to retain and recruit talent. CUPA-HR has found that 56% of higher ed employees are at least somewhat likely to look for a new position in the coming year, and the strongest predictors of retention are factors related to job satisfaction and well-being.

You know that attentiveness to mental and physical health helps you and your team thrive, but it may be difficult to find the time and budget to make wellness a daily practice. This Valentine’s Day is an opportunity to treat yourself and your team to the gift of well-being by scheduling time to participate in Well-Being in Higher Education, a week-long virtual event. From February 26 to March 1, CUPA-HR will join with 20+ higher ed associations to help you deepen your knowledge of well-being on your campus and offer moments of connection across the higher ed community.

CUPA-HR-sponsored sessions include:

  • An Integrated Approach to Fostering Workplace Well-Being
  • Managing Anxiety and Stress in the Workplace
  • Staff Well-Being: Its Role in Creating a Healthy Campus
