Employee Orientation Month (O-Month)
All of September 2022 is Employee O-Month!
Employee O-Month is a Wellness@Work initiative and cross-campus collaboration for all employees designed to build community and connection amongst colleagues and to our beautiful U of G Guelph campus. We wanted to showcase what makes U of G a unique place to work!
The Wellness@Work Programming Committee has organized many in-person events, tours, and challenges to support your social, mental, and physical well-being. Take time from your busy day to prioritize your well-being and build that connection that is so valuable to developing a sense of community and social well-being in the workplace.
Thank you to our generous campus partners for taking part and donating prizes because without your contributions our faculty and staff would not have had the chance to discover or re-discover U of G!
