Occupational Dimension

Occupational Wellness

Utilizing our skills and talents to obtain personal satisfaction and meaning through work.

Strategies:

• Identify what you like and appreciate about your work
• Accept that no occupation or career is perfect
• Explore ways to better manage work-related challenges
• Seek opportunities to expand work-related knowledge and skills
• Encourage your co-workers; seek to improve their experiences

Tips for Occupational Wellness:

1. Try to establish and maintain a healthy balance between your work life and activities that involve leisure and fun; as the proverb goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy (or Jill a dull girl).”
   
   
2. Give support to co-workers or colleagues who appear to be struggling to be their best; a supportive work environment contributes to occupational wellness.
   
   
3. Beware of occupational burnout, which seriously threatens wellness; if in the early stages, seek help, but if the feelings persist, consider exploring a change.
