    Employee Wellbeing at Cornell Re

    Your guide to resources that support all the dimensions of your wellbeing. HR.CORNELL.EDU/WELLBEING 1 2 1.6.20 Dear Colleague, During your time with Cornell, we want you to be well and THRIVE. Cornell invests in benefits, programs, and services to support employee wellbeing. This guide features a wide range of university (and many community!) resources available to support you in various dimensions of your wellbeing. As you browse this guide, which is organized around Cornell’s Seven Dimensions of Wellbeing model pictured below, you’ll find many resources cross-referenced in multiple dimensions. This illustrates the multifaceted nature of wellbeing. It is often non-linear in nature, and our most important elements shift as our work and Mary Opperman personal lives evolve. CHRO and Vice President Division of Human Resources We experience wellbeing both personally and as members of our various communities, including our work community. We each have opportunities to positively contribute to Cornell’s culture of wellbeing as we celebrate our colleagues’ life events, support one another during difficult times, share resources, and find creative approaches to how, where, and when work gets done. Behind this page is a “quick start directory” of Cornell wellbeing-related contacts. Please save this page and reach out any time you need assistance! Although some of these resources are specific to Cornell’s Ithaca campus, we recognize and are continuing to focus on expanding offerings to our employees in all locations. Thank you for all of your contributions
