Human Resources Update

Employee Wellbeing at Cornell

We are pleased to share a new resource guide, Employee Wellbeing at Cornell, is now available. The guide features 32 pages of Cornell programs, resources and campus destinations, as well as some community resources. It follows Cornell’s Seven Dimensions of Wellbeing model which includes mental, physical, financial, relationship, occupational, environmental and cultural wellbeing.

We hope this will be a useful tool in communicating the wonderful array of Cornell support available to employees.
