"At Rutgers University at New Brunswick, staff are taking health education one step further, offering a new minor in holistic wellness to support students' personal well-being as well as to provide practical skills so they can share well-being principles in their workplaces. The minor, developed by ScarletWell, the university's well-being division, is open to any student on campus. It is designed to empower a new generation of workers who demonstrate wellness in all dimensions of their lives."
"Burnout is a frequent concern among American workers and can be a threat to both student and worker retention. One survey published earlier this year found that 66 percent of American employees say they're experiencing some sort of burnout; young adults (ages 18 to 24) were even more likely to say they're burned out (81 percent). Providing wellness education is one way to support student success and give workers the tools they need to be impactful in their roles, Swarbrick noted."
Rutgers University offers a holistic wellness minor open to all students that teaches personal well-being alongside practical skills for promoting wellness in workplaces. The curriculum includes understanding policies that foster wellness, wellness communication, and program development to enable students to support community, belonging, and workforce health. The minor aims to prepare students for diverse careers by equipping them to work with leadership to improve organizational well-being. The program responds to widespread burnout among workers and young adults and aligns with growth in the wellness industry and demand across sectors for wellness expertise.
