- Having identified financial well-being as one of the biggest stressors by ISU employees, ISU WellBeing and the Benefits team are focused on providing programs, services and resources to support financial well-being.
- The university provides webinars, online services and budgeting tools and resources for work and personal management to inspire financial resiliency.
- Iowa State's insurance benefits package offers Blue365 discounts to help employees save money on medical-related expenses.
- Considering health and well-being as an economic resource is a focal initiative of ISU WellBeing. Better health is a form of self sustainability that can decrease healthcare costs, as well as increase life expectancy.
"With anxieties and
depressions, there is a cost to society when people aren't at their best, when
we aren't getting along, when we don't value and respect one another, when we
aren't embracing of our uniqueness."
-Stephanie Downs, ISU WellBeing Coordinator
