We Bravely Act Together

By Wellness Council of Wisconsin 

Let’s breakdown the elements of this guiding principle: 

1. When we say that we are courageous in our work to widen the scope of employee wellbeing: 

Wellbeing is complex. It’s what people think and feel about their lives and it’s impacted by many things. In the workplace, we have to bravely look through a wider, deeper, more flexible and inclusive frame to be more effective in supporting the wellbeing of our people.  

2. When we say that we strive to see through all lenses and to be driven by empathy and compassion: 

Perspective taking is the ability to understand how a situation appears to another person and to use empathy and compassion in our response as we develop strategies that are more inclusive to the wellbeing needs of all. Perspective taking is one of our most powerful tools that we, as wellbeing strategists and leaders, can use to build relationships, effectively collaborate, and take action alongside others in our organization in our efforts to positively impact wellbeing. 

3. When we say that we seek diverse perspectives and ideas and we make space that is welcoming for all: 

When we all take responsibility to contribute to creating an inclusive work environment, we convey our respect for different perspectives, backgrounds, customs, abilities, behavior norms, accessibility and wellbeing needs. We exemplify cultural awareness to collaborate across all levels and roles within the organization. To make space for all, we believe in the power of conversation and the opportunity that arises from every new conversation.
