A brief description of the institution’s wellness and/or employee assistance program(s):

Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Wellness Programs foster an environment that supports the health and well-being of its employees. According to a business impact matrix produced by Alliance for Work-Life Progress (AWLP), companies that instituted wellness programs saw a reduction in hospital admissions, mental health visits and outpatient services reported by their employees.

Persons who prefer the outdoors may opt for a walk through The Gardens. Employees also have the option to go biking or running on one of the easily accessible trails on campus.
