Cultivating wellness in an organization is not an option but a necessity. Wellness creates a better working environment that respects the dignity of both staff and clients and in turn increases efficiency, productivity, and effectiveness. To develop an organizational culture of wellness, a collective rather than individual effort is needed, and managers play a vital role in building that foundation. This session will focus on the importance of centering wellness in our work through guiding managers in identifying burnout, vicarious trauma, and compassion fatigue. Presenters will discuss ways to exercise and prioritize wellness on a daily basis, promote wellness for staff, and help an organization create a culture where wellness is front and center in all aspects of work.
