Health and Wellbeing
Investing in and
promoting positive colleague health and wellbeing creates a culture where
employees feel nurtured, confident to be the best version of themselves and
where people can flourish and reach their potential. We know that positive colleague
health and wellbeing can lead to increased resilience, better employee
engagement, reduced sickness absence and higher performance and productivity.
Edinburgh Napier University strives to be a
supportive and proactive employer and we work to fulfilling commitments
outlined in our Mental Health Strategy (2021-2024). The main purpose of the Strategy is
to ensure that the University is recognised as an organisation that safeguards
and promotes the mental health and wellbeing of its students and staff and that
it treats all members of its community equitably and with respect, kindness and
empathy.
