BCIT is a community working together to build and maintain organizational wellness within our workplace by providing opportunities and support for all employees.Our mission is to have BCIT and its employees work together to identify and address leading health and well being issues at all levels, and to offer innovative policies, practices and programs to best meet those needs.
At BCIT, we believe that an investment in the health and well being of our employees is integral to the success and prosperity of the Institute. Our Healthy BCIT initiative aims to promote the health and well being of all employees and to create and sustain a healthy workplace.
