In recent years, higher education has begun to realize the great influence that faculty quality of life has on student learning and on overall institutional effectiveness. This article examines the interactive effect of personal professional and organizational well‐being and describes a center that integrates four kinds of services—faculty development, employee assistance, health promotion, and organizational development—that work both separately and collaboratively. The result is a synergistic organization that is able to tackle complex institutional problems that could not be addressed by any one program alone.
