Tec receives certification as responsibly healthy organization

Tec de Monterrey has been certified as a Responsibly Healthy Organization by Workplace Wellness Council Mexico for promoting the wellbeing of its faculty and staff.

Tec de Monterrey’s Director of Benefits and Wellbeing, Yessica Carrillo, thanked all those involved in achieving this certification and highlighted the initiatives that had earned the institution this recognition.

“Let’s celebrate this recognition, which not only reflects the efforts and achievements of the institution but also our commitment to promoting the health, safety, and wellbeing of our faculty and staff.

“We’ve implemented self-care initiatives; conducted health campaigns and medical checkups; and encouraged our employees to engage in physical activity both on and off campus. All this has led us to the point where we received this recognition.”

The Tec’s Rector and Executive President David Garza sent a video message about the Workplace Wellness Council Mexico certification.

“This recognition is a testament to Tec de Monterrey’s commitment to the wellbeing of our staff.

“We’ve sought to create an environment where these practices are effectively experienced, which is why we’ve put in place many programs and initiatives that have improved the work environment and created healthy environments that encourage collaboration and create a balance between work and personal life.”
