A brief description of the employee wellness program, policy, or practice:
Cornell has both a wellness program and a Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FSAP). The Faculty and Staff Assistance Program offers free, confidential, professional assessment, counseling, consultation and referral services by telephone or in person to all benefits-eligible faculty, staff, retirees and their dependents. Supervisors can consult with FSAP for assistance in managing employees with personal problems or whose behaviors are causing poor job performance or interpersonal conflicts. Counselors help individuals with a variety of topics including stress-related emotional issues; legal assistance; relationship issues; anger management; family issues and parent-child concerns; aging parents; domestic violence; grief/loss issues; divorce/separation adjustment; depression and anxiety; alcohol and drug concerns; financial concerns; single parenting; and interpersonal difficulties.
Wellbeing workshops are offered through face-to-face and pre-recorded webinars on topics such as managing change, resolving interpersonal conflict, setting limits, depression, working with difficult people, seasonal affective disorder, self-image, overcoming stress, keeping relationship satisfaction high, sleep, chronic pain, and assertiveness.
The Cornell University Wellness Program helps individuals achieve their fitness and nutrition goals. With over 3,700 members including retirees, Trustees, and Professors Emeriti, in addition to employees the Wellness program serves a broad range of needs. An additional 1,500 individuals participated in Wellness outreach programs. The program offers access to five fitness centers, an ice skating rink, and several swimming pools, along with group fitness and nutrition classes for employees of the university. Utilization of wellness facilities continues to climb. A total of 83,983 card swipes for fitness centers and fitness classes were compiled for 2012-2013.
