Take a mindful break and join the Summer Wellness Walking Tour—a 2 km guided walk highlighting six historic Campus Sites that celebrate wellness through movement, connection, and reflection. Recharge, connect, and thrive. One step at a time!

Great teams don’t just work together — they learn from each other. In “Leveraging Team Wisdom,” we’ll connect, share, and co-create solutions that support both team success and employee wellbeing at Queen’s.

There are many hurdles to achieving work and life balance. Please join us to learn strategies to create balance in your life, to help manage your workload, and to even make work enjoyable again! Balancing work and personal life can feel difficult, especially when workloads grow, expectations shift, and responsibilities compete for attention. Finding balance doesn't mean doing less—it means working in healthier, more sustainable ways that support both wellbeing and strong performance. 

This session helps employees explore realistic, practical strategies for creating balance, managing workload more effectively, and reconnecting with the parts of their work that feel meaningful and enjoyable. The emphasis is on small, achievable changes that support long-term wellbeing.

Improving psychological health and safety is an ongoing process of continuous improvement that requires the active participation of everyone. This session will focus on exploring what growth and development mean for you individually, and for your team if you are in a leadership role, in a practical and actionable way. Participants will engage in discussion and reflection on how to support both personal and team development, with a focus on building psychologically safe environments that enable learning, feedback, and growth.

Stress is inevitable, but staying stuck isn’t. In Name It, Claim It, Reframe It, you’ll learn practical, everyday tools to better understand your stress, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and shift your perspective in ways that support your wellbeing. This interactive session builds skills that help you stay grounded, resilient, and better equipped to navigate workplace challenges, aligned with Queen’s commitment to employee wellbeing.
