​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.
