Well-Being Committee
Well-Being Committee Mission
The mission of the DFCM wellbeing committee is to create a supportive environment that is responsive to and empowers individuals to meet their wellness needs, both mental and physical, and work towards the overall well-being of the organization and everyone in it.
Well-Being or Wellness?
| Well-Being | Wellness |
|---|---|
| The state of being comfortable, healthy, or happy (external focus) | The act of practicing healthy habits daily for better outcomes (internal focus) |
| Strategic outcome-driven priority of an org | Individuals making conscious effort with daily habits |
| Addresses all aspects of an organization's long-term goals and wellness needs | Often sporadic, useful for individuals but less effective in creating org-wide change |
