From Education to Integration
Weaving Staff Wellness into the Fabric of Your Workplace
About the Video
Have you ever hosted an informative and motivational training for your staff – only for those lessons learned to dissipate one, two, three weeks later? As leaders, managers, and wellness advocates, we care deeply about the well-being of our people and hope to provide tools and resources to help them stay well. Yet, despite our best efforts, sometimes those initiatives fizzle out – or worse, are unattended, disregarded, and forgotten. When it comes to sustainable staff wellness initiatives, how do we move from education to integration?
Cambria Walsh, Diana Tikasz, & Marlene O’Neill-Laberge are Organizational Health Specialists providing consultation to trauma-exposed organizations as part of the TEND Roadmap to Organizational Health Program. In this discussion, they share what they’ve learned about staff wellness initiatives and what it takes to embed those initiatives into the workplace routine. They’ll explore the importance of psychological safety (and how to create it), the role of the wellness committees (and how to build them), and they will share their top recommendations of tools and resources for improving organizational health.
Recorded in June 2024 as part of the CARE4YOU Conference
