Total Organizational Health
What is TOH?
Beginning in January 2023, the Total Organizational Health initiative at UTC (TOH@UTC) is a data-driven and evidence-based effort to build and sustain a culture within this institution that protects and promotes health, safety, and well-being for all employees. Through this initiative, UTC employees are working together to enhance engagement, build a supportive workplace culture, strengthen the overall resilience of the institution, and generally help UTC to become an “employer of choice” locally, regionally, in the University of Tennessee system, and beyond.
The TOH@UTC framework and approach is based on work from the US Surgeon General (2022) and Nielsen et al. (2017; 2018).
