What exactly is a Wellness Culture?
Company culture is determined by two factors: How employees relate to one another and their perception of the organization. Culture, whether healthy, toxic, or simply ineffective, significantly impacts an organization’s ability to strategically plan and execute. A Wellness Culture possesses these primary attributes: • It builds robust systems for the future while envisioning the “Big Picture.” • It allows individuals to expand their abilities and fully contribute to organizational goals. • It builds leadership from within. • It focuses on strengths rather than weaknesses; solutions rather than problems. A true Wellness Culture is driven and supported by the employees. It includes a high level of individual leadership, a forward-focused approach, cross-functional alignment, interdepartmental cooperation, and an enhanced bottom line. Challenges still arise, but with a Wellness Culture in place, solutions are streamlined. Resistance to change and the common “assignment of blame” mentality
