Implementation Guides

The BU|BeWell Dimension Implementation Guides were developed to help Butler faculty and staff confidently integrate the BU|BeWell dimensions of wellness into everyday work.

Whether you teach, supervise employees, plan events, provide services, lead initiatives, or support campus operations, these guides offer practical ideas that make it easier to incorporate well-being into what you are already doing.

Each guide includes:

• A definition of the wellness dimension
• Practical implementation ideas for courses, workplaces, and programs
• Examples that can be adapted across departments
• Suggestions for assessing impact
• Flexible strategies that can be implemented regardless of budget, role, or experience

Rather than prescribing one “right” way to promote well-being, these guides provide adaptable tools that faculty and staff can customize to meet their own goals while contributing to Butler’s shared vision of a healthy campus community.

Faculty and staff told us they wanted practical examples of what the BU|BeWell framework looks like in day-to-day work. These guides were created to translate the framework into practical actions that can be adapted across departments, regardless of an employee’s role or experience.

The following statements address use of the guides by where you see yourself in implementing the BU|BeWell framework.

I’m just getting started.  

Start with one wellness dimension that aligns with your current work.

I already promote well-being.  

Use the guides to discover new ideas and strengthen what you’re already doing.

I don’t have much time.  

Focus on one small action that can be incorporated into something you’re already doing.

I’m leading a department.  

Use the guides to spark conversations with your team and identify opportunities to embed well-being into existing processes.

I want to measure impact.  

Each guide includes simple strategies for assessing outcomes and identifying opportunities for continuous improvement.

No, you don’t have to implement everything. The BU|BeWell dimensions are interconnected. You are not expected to incorporate every dimension into every project. Start with the dimension that best aligns with your goals, and expand over time.

No. Most initiatives naturally align with one or two dimensions.

The guides are designed to enhance work you’re already doing rather than requiring entirely new initiatives.

Great! The guides can help you identify opportunities to strengthen existing efforts and communicate how they support BU|BeWell.

Absolutely. The examples are intended to inspire implementation, not prescribe a single approach.

Each guide includes simple suggestions for evaluating impact using methods appropriate for your department or initiative.
