Fitting with Purdue University’s tripartite mission of learning, discovery, and engagement, the Purdue Center for Working Well (CWW) aims to be a cutting-edge center at the forefront of challenges facing modern workforces, and employees’ desire to “work well."
The core mission of the CWW is to develop a robust understanding of what “working well” means to employees and organizations—here, encompassing challenges with promoting personal well-being (e.g., reducing workforce burnout, promoting thriving), creating sustainable performance, adopting to grand challenges in modern organizations (e.g., societal issues; hybridization and automation of work), and cultivating positive and inclusive relationships at work and home broadly defined.

Society faces many grand challenges in an increasingly complex world that demands innovative solutions and collaborative efforts. Our recent research suggests that female leaders may be uniquely positioned to navigate these challenges due to their perceived relational skills.
In partnership with the Purdue HR Case Competition and Conference, the Center for Working Well (CWW) recently presented research from its inaugural Working Well Research Awards. These presentations centered on the challenges employees face both in crafting healthier relationships with work and work-life balance, to finding time outside of work to craft meaningful relationships.
Their award proposal, “Intuitive Working™: A New Lens on Work Consumption,” contributes to the growing science-practice rebellion against 24/7 work cultures, offering a more sustainable work system that encourages employees and organizations to ask: When have employees done enough work?
Learn more about the Center's inaugural undergraduate course, The Science of Working Well. This innovative course, led by Dr. Allison Gabriel, provided students with hands-on experience in addressing real-world workplace challenges.
The Center for Working Well is helping to create better work places. Your support of our efforts is much appreciated.
