Occupational wellness is a process of negotiating lifework in a manner that is both stimulating and inherently fulfilling, while balancing personal and family commitments. Occupational wellness is enhanced by lifework that is congruent with one’s values, beliefs, and goals; that demonstrates a strong work ethic, commitment to service and social responsibility, and that values professional development.
