Welcome from the Director of Wellness for the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology
Wellbeing looks different for everyone, but it cannot be achieved without feeling valued. In the same way, team wellbeing cannot be realized unless the whole team feels seen and appreciated. We are a team.
We bring unique and valid skills, experience, and talents to our team every day. We are all deserving of joy and fulfilment in our work, and we are working to create a framework built for workplace wellbeing centered on the worker's voice and equity. It is my hope our focus on wellbeing and commitment to a culture of wellness and connectivity will infuse the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and become an integral part of our culture.
In our ongoing commitment to your health and happiness, we continue to roll out new and exciting wellness initiatives designed to support you in both your personal and professional life. From offering team-building activities to fostering a culture of inclusivity, we aim to create a workplace that prioritizes your overall wellbeing.
Stay tuned for more details and get ready to embrace a workplace culture that prioritizes your wellbeing. We're enthusiastic about this journey, and I look forward to building a culture of wellness together.
