The university is constantly working to improve processes and structures and reduce work pressure but you too can do your bit to beat stress. For example, by moving regularly while at work, taking regular and micro breaks, practising mindfulness, seeking out silence or clearing your mind with a good bout of exercise. During Work Stress Week from 11 to 15 November, you can take workshops on tackling work stress and increasing your vitality.

Programme and registration

In collaboration with My Daily Lifestyle and the University Sports Centre (USC), we are offering a range of workshops and inspiration sessions during Work Stress Week. This week is running in tandem with national Work Stress Week and Student Well-being Week for our students in Leiden.

Vitality has so many benefits

First for yourself: because increasing your vitality makes you happier, healthier, more sociable and more successful. You will notice you are more motivated at work as well as being more productive, creative and innovative. You will be less likely to be ill or experience burnout.
