"Employee wellness and resilience are a priority at the University of Utah. The Joy in Work program at the University of Utah fosters team wellbeing and promotes flourishing in the workplace. My project was based on these two ideals. Joy in Work programs cultivate a thriving work environment by empowering healthcare professionals with the tools and support needed to foster joy, resilience, and meaningful change across University of Utah Health. Using the Joy in Work framework and focusing on the tools and support needed for SOM Coordinators, I met with SOM coordinators and Student Affairs to collaborate on a pulse team site that would streamline the resources we use to support our departments, the faculty and students. I took multiple resources and placed them into one easy to use webpage. This webpage gives access to badging, conference room scheduling, needle stick processes, paging systems, wellness teams and much more all in support of our University Employees and Students. The process spanned across multiple departments and coordinator roles. The pulse team site I created is a foundation of information, encouraging unity and growth, as a team, by sharing valuable resources, and reducing frustration for support staff."
