From Self-Care to WE-Care
● Culture
● Employee Engagement
● Programs and Activities
● Nudges and Cues
● Policies, Strategy
Changing An Organizational Culture That Eats French
Fries for Breakfast
Organizational leaders model self-care and
don’t ridicule it, ignore it, or give lip service
When employees are engaged in creating a
culture of we-care or else there will be
either a steak and scotch rebellion or
frequent self-care abusers
Not a quick fix with tactics or activities,
requires patience
Avoid Quick Fixes
