About Us

Where the personal and the professional intersect

At the University of Florida, we know that the quality of our life and the quality of our work are interdependent — and, as such, we place a high value on the health and well-being of our faculty and staff as well as their families. Our goal is to optimize the experience of the talented people who work here as well as to foster a sense of connection and community among our faculty and staff.

We aim to support the full range of your experience at the University of Florida — which we know is inextricably interwoven with your personal life — so that you have the space to not only achieve your goals, but to truly flourish.

We have designed this website to provide you with improved access to and awareness of the many wellness, family and community resources available to you as a UF employee.  If you have questions or would like more information, please email us at worklife@hr.ufl.edu.
