The health and well-being of university employees is integral to the success of the organization. In February 2007 UNM completed the World of Wellness (WOW) Rapid Redesign to support the highest level of employee health and wellness at UNM.
The WOW goals are currently about 72 percent complete and we have several key achievements to recognize and celebrate.
Healthy Food Options in the SUB
Find this heart on Student Union Building menus for healthy choices. The full menu is available at hr.unm.edu under “Eating Healthy at the SUB!”
New Employee Wellness
Wellness has been woven into new employee orientation and a new employee campus tour. The tour is also open to current employees. Sign up on Learning Central at learningcentral.health.unm.edu/elms/learner/login.jsp.
Mini Grants
All are invited to attend the mini grant announcement event, congratulate mini grant recipients and celebrate the efforts of all those engaged in advancing our World of Wellness. The event will be held Tuesday, Dec. 11, 3:30-4:30 p.m. in the SUB Lobo room, with light refreshments of vegetable and fruit platters.
Leadership Support
President Schmidly has taken an interest in the WOW initiative and has agreed to champion this endeavor. In his vision statement he wrote “If UNM is to succeed, we must create and sustain the conditions under which all of the people in the institution can succeed. Investments in our human capital, including … an environment that supports wellness and productivity are foundational to our success.”
We have many wellness accomplishments to celebrate this year and are well on our way to achieving the original WOW goals.
These advances are due to the investment UNM and each employee is making toward improving the health and wellness of our community.
