Wellness

The HR Wellness vision is to build a thriving Wolfpack employee community.

Our Wellness Plan

HR Wellness aspires to build a thriving Wolfpack employee community by offering staff and faculty members opportunities to learn about NC State’s six elements of wellness and reach their healthy lifestyle goals. We will write about wellness topics in the HR newsletter and other university sources, provide wellness resources on this webpage, and organize events for employees to learn about wellness and participate in wellness activities. We aim to provide wellness resources, programs and services that support employees whenever and wherever they are to foster work-life balance, learning opportunities, pursuit of passions and community.
