Update, April 4, 2014: The Dalhousie Libraries now have the trophy on display in the administration office of the Killam Library. Facilities Management, who we shared this award with, had the trophy for the first half of the year.
The Dalhousie Libraries are this year’s winner of the Healthy Workplace Award! We are sharing this honour with Facilities Management.
The Libraries’ Health & Wellness Committee nominated the Dalhousie Libraries for this award based on the libraries’ staff participation in various health and wellness initiatives, including initiatives of the libraries’ committee and larger Dalhousie initiatives.
A truly healthy workplace involves the six dimensions of wellness: physical, emotional, intellectual, interpersonal/social, spiritual, and environmental. This includes taking part in events like Pink Day and the Pride Parade.
