Occupational Wellness

Occupational WellnessOccupational wellness is the ability to receive personal fulfillment, purpose and satisfaction from our jobs or our chosen career fields while still maintaining a sense of balance in our lives. Our desire to contribute in our careers and to make a positive impact on the organizations and communities we work in lends itself to occupational wellness. Sure, a paycheck is an important part of a job. However, occupational wellness focuses on our ability to find meaning in our jobs and knowing that we are making a difference in the world.
