Wellbeing

The University of Bolton is committed to providing a working environment and people management policies, procedures and practices which promote the wellbeing of colleagues at all levels in the institution and facilitates a positive work culture. The wellbeing statement aims to support the University’s strategic direction and the recognition that the University’s staff are its greatest asset.

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) define wellbeing as ‘Creating an environment to promote a state of contentment which allows an employee to flourish and achieve their full potential for the benefit of themselves and their organisation.’

Through the integration of wellbeing in all work activities and practices, a positive environment can be created that is compatible with promoting positive staff engagement, performance and achievement. Working in partnership with all areas of the University with a common interest in promoting a culture of wellbeing is key to the success of this wellbeing statement.
