Weekly Work Pause for Health, Connection and Joy
September 25th, 2025
Visiting a museum, going for an urban hike and playing games are some of the activities that Dawson employees have enjoyed during their workdays over the past year. The College’s Human Resources team launched weekly Well-Being Hours in the fall of 2024. Every employee may spend one hour of worktime each week focusing on their personal well-being.
“It has made me really appreciate our Dawson community and all the new initiatives the College has offered in the last couple of years to work on well-being and community building,” said Sophie La Font, Project Coordinator in the Office of Sustainability. “I have met a lot of lovely new people that work outside my typical work sphere. These activities have helped me to feel more engaged and refreshed.”
For some resources and ideas, check out the HR well-being Sharepoint page.
