MyWellnessCheck: Supporting Wellbeing During COVID19

Press/Media: Public Engagement

Description

The pandemic has put wellbeing on the global agenda like never before and has sparked further interest in the role of organizations to attend to wellbeing outcomes, not just economic growth. Nevertheless, the economy in The Netherlands is returning to its pre-pandemic state faster than expected while numbers on wellbeing are lagging behind. The COVID-19 pandemic severely reduced wellbeing around the world. In our local university context, we experienced the challenge of understanding community needs and responding to them in an adequate manner. We, therefore, designed "My Wellness Check," a service to help university administrators to assess student/staff wellbeing and to take action.
