School Wellness Program
In the School of Humanities and Social Science, we aim to provide a work environment that is hospitable, collegial and supportive of staff and students. Our School Wellness Program addresses both the professional and personal needs of our academic and general staff through the following measures:
Professional development: Staff have access to fully-funded support for professional development activities and conference attendance
Free OHS mini-massages: The massages take place in staff offices at select times throughout the semester
Staff & RHD tea room facilities: Throughout this year we are aiming to improve tearoom facilities, furnishings and furniture in our various buildings
