帝王会所

Notice Regarding Wellness Program

The 帝王会所 work environment can be fun - even when we're working remotely! Sometimes, it just takes a bit of time to shift your perspective and make the work day promote your wellbeing. Allowing employees the space they need to build short bursts of wellbeing into the work day can boost employee health and increase productivity. 

We're encouraging University employees to view wellness as a special treat that you get to enjoy throughout any given day. Such a mindset can help make it easier to adopt lifelong healthy habits. Start small by trying out a few of the 5-, 10-, and 15-minute healthy break ideas below. All employees have specified break opportunities available based on their employment classification. Choose to use yours while doing something healthy!
