Work Life Programs and Services

Welcome to Work Life Programs and Services. In recognition of the reality and impact of personal issues and health concerns on our employees, Human Resources is introducing Work Life Programs and Services. Work Life Programs and Services promote healthy lifestyle habits by providing an educational and supportive environment that delivers a variety of programs addressing diverse aspects of wellness. Services include conflict resolution services, supervisory consultation and training, and on-campus professional development. We envision a healthy Cal Poly work force that sets a positive example for our students and the entire community.

What is work/life balance?

The work part seems pretty self-explanatory. It's what occupies most of our time during the week. Therefore, life represents everything that is not work — all the details and activities that make up a personal life, such as:

  • Interacting with immediate family, extended family, and community
  • Attending to a home
  • Enjoying hobbies
  • Seeing to personal well-being
