At TU Dublin, we recognise the importance of workplace wellbeing as a foundational element that supports our community. Our Workplace Wellbeing Framework THRIVE is designed to address the diverse needs of our colleagues, ensuring that everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered and is a central theme in the culture we are committed to embedding as a University, a ‘Culture that Cares’. A culture that cares recognises and values the unique contribution of our colleagues and is characterised by empathy, support and focuses on enhancing the overall wellbeing of colleagues.
Our approach at TU Dublin is underpinned by the World Health Organisation (WHO) definition of health ‘a state of complete mental, physical & social wellbeing’ supporting and promoting health across the workplace lifespan and is aligned with the World Health Organisation Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with a focus on SDG 3, Good health and wellbeing for all ages.
Aligned with TU Dublin's vision of creating a better world together, our values of Excellence, Impact, Inclusion, and Respect, and our strategic intent—focused on nurturing and supporting each individual to reach their full potential and emphasising our People Pillar—we believe that a commitment to workplace wellbeing will positively impact our ability to:
- Offer space for new ideas, to foster relationships and enhance personal development
- Provide our community with opportunities that inspire, support and develop the individual in reaching their full potential
- Create a workplace environment where ‘people love to work and learn’ and where colleagues are part of a living, thriving, connected community underpinned by equality, diversity and inclusion fostering creativity, social connectivity & wellbeing
