Workvivo
UCD Workvivo - Internal communications, engagement and collaboration platform.
There's a lot going on!
UCD Workvivo is our dedicated, internal communications platform for employees of the University. It is a social media-style platform which aims to help you connect, engage and communicate with colleagues online.
Unlike email communications, UCD Workvivo allows for 2 way communication, enabling colleagues to ask questions, share documents, comment and more. It also offers an opportunity to recognise and celebrate success and build community.
UCD Workvivo is available on both desktop and mobile allowing you to stay in touch wherever you are.
Initially, UCD Workvivo is only available to current UCD employees but other phases will look at the business case for expansion. You can learn more about the platform on the Workvivo Project Page.

KeepWell Mark
UCD is proud that our community has achieved the KeepWell Mark. At UCD, our people are the drivers of our teaching, research and engagement, and it is very important to us that they feel supported, valued and healthy.
IBEC’s KeepWell Mark is an evidence-based accreditation that recognises and certifies organisations that demonstrate strong commitment and performance in promoting the health, safety, wellbeing and overall workplace culture for their employees in Ireland.
The KeepWell Mark framework assesses performance across eight key pillars of workplace wellbeing:
- Leadership
- Mental Health
- Inclusion & Belonging
- Talent Support & Development
- Occupational Safety & Health (OSH)
- Nutrition & Physical Activity
- Attendance Management
- Intoxicants
The independent assessment conducted by the KeepWell Mark evaluators highlighted several key areas where UCD is performing at a world-class level. Notably, the university achieved the highest standard of 'Excellence' in two critical pillars:
Inclusion and Belonging: The assessors praised UCD’s comprehensive approach to fostering a culture of respect. Key strengths included the dedicated EDI (Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion) Unit, the strategic EDI Action Plan, and the university's Athena Swan Institutional Silver Award, which recognises their significant impact in addressing gender equality.
Talent Support and Development: UCD was recognised for its robust commitment to professional growth. The report highlighted the Performance 4 Growth (P4G) framework, which ensures regular, meaningful performance discussions, and the RISE Leadership Programme, which is actively building the next generation of academic and professional leaders.
