Employee Well-being
Cultivating a culture of well-being

K-State is defining its future as a next-generation land-grant institution and establishing itself as a positive force in Kansas and the world. It starts by investing in the dedicated faculty and staff who make our goals possible. K-State champions a culture of satisfaction, engagement, opportunity, improvement and innovation.
Together with our next-gen strategic plan, we have the foundation needed to build a culture of well-being that lasts.
We're on a mission to become an employer of choice in Kansas and higher education. HR's Workplace Well-being provides initiatives, programs and opportunities for employees to prioritize their physical, emotional, social and financial health. Well-being is about empowering ourselves and our community to create a K-State that's always people-centered. Whether you're ready to recharge, refocus, reconnect or just hit pause — let's realize our full potential together!
