UConn proudly upholds its mission to promote the health and well-being of all citizens across Connecticut and beyond—and our workforce is the driving force behind that vision. Each October, we celebrate Work/Life Month, reaffirming our commitment to helping employees create harmony between their professional and personal lives.
This year’s focus reflects the holistic approach embraced by today’s wellness trends, guided by the seven dimensions of the wellness wheel: mental & emotional, environmental, physical, inclusive & belonging, financial, family & community, and personal development. We recognize that nurturing all aspects of well-being fosters not just healthier individuals, but stronger teams and communities.
At the centerpiece of Work/Life Month, the Work-Life Expo gathers an array of UConn and community partners who provide resources, benefits, and services designed to support every dimension of wellness. This event empowers employees with information and connections that can enhance their everyday lives—from health care and financial support to community engagement and personal development opportunities.
Together, we celebrate the idea that well-being isn't just a goal, it’s a culture we build together, one connection at a time.
