Abstract
The management of employees' safety, health and wellness is a major factor that contributes in the smooth functioning of any organizations. A safe, secure and healthy workforce is an important asset of any organization. Mixed method research was conducted by collecting both qualitative and quantitative data through questionnaire and interviews. The major objective was to analyze the system of safety, health and wellness of university teaching facultyin old and new universities. The study revealed that teachers and administration of universities were generally satisfied with the health facilities i.e. at campus medical facilities, referral facilities, and reimbursement of medical bills. However, CMOs of both types of universities further demanded extension of indoor lab facilities at campus, more doctors and medical staff, and increase in budget. The most common health problem was hypertension followed by diabetes. Other health problems of teachers include ischemic heart disease, seasonal ailments, psychological disorder and musculoskeletal problems
