System leaders are addressing school authority needs by exploring and applying workplace wellness strategies. Continuing to support Alberta school authorities with workplace wellness planning and implementation, Directors of Leadership – Wellness, Brian Andjelic and Jim McLellan, launched a Community of Practice (CofP). Over 20 CASS members are working together with the intent of creating a playbook, featuring additional practices and resources to support each of the five wellness conditions outlined in CASS’ Workplace Wellness Planning and Implementation Guide.
To move forward with the creation of a Workplace Wellness Plan, system leaders will need to start with facilitating an organization’s creation of a collective “Why”. This begins by engaging all those who will be impacted by a Workplace Wellness Plan.
