Healthy University

Would you like to go to work feeling healthy and energetic, and end your working day with a positive feeling, but things don’t always work out that way? Healthy University Leiden works with you to create a healthy and pleasant working environment in which you can realise your full potential.

Prioritising health and vitality

Healthy University wants to make health and vitality part of our identity. We do this for example by providing valuable information and organising inspiring activities. Resilience and broad employability are necessary to be able to meet the challenges of your work, continue to enjoy your daily activities, and continue to contribute added value to our university.

Connection and cooperating around other themes play a crucial role in this respect:

• Improving social safety allows us to create a healthy working environment
• Strengthening diversity and inclusion helps us to make room for everyone
• Stimulating leadership helps us to value everyone’s personal skills
• Promoting sustainability helps us to become future-proof as an organisation

And, of course, so does collaboration with our colleagues in science who are developing knowledge on all these topics.

How we are going to achieve this

1. Annual Healthy University week
2. Annual calendar with various activities
3. Use of research and development
4. Collaboration with the sports centre and university restaurants
5. Information about the importance of resilience and health in relation to work
6. A Healthy University Week, held every year in October, where you can take part in a wide range of healthy activities.
7. Monitoring the effectiveness of our activities, and using that monitoring to refine the programme even further and to apply the knowledge we gain to the education we provide.
