News from Workplace Learning & Development
A Peer-to-Peer Program to Support Well-being
A coalition of offices - including Workplace Learning & Development - recently launched CoJourn@UMass for Staff & Faculty, a peer-to-peer program to support well-being. 146 Staff and faculty are participating in the launch of CoJourn @UMass. Participants are matched and then each person sets a series of goals for themselves. Each week, peer partners listen to and support each other in achieving their intentions. People are using this program to focus on a range of issues of importance to them, such as wellness, managing work-life responsibilities, connecting with others, or tackling procrastination. Enrollment is now closed. More information to follow about future launches in 2021.
