CWHP-P Reflection: Unit WHPP01

I have taken away many things in this unit. Modeling behavior from the top down is critical in the overall health of employees. Having a shared vision and buy in from management will help to implement different strategies and practices. Involving staff in decisions and getting feedback fosters trust. Employees feel more engaged and that their voices are heard which translates to increased productivity and overall employee health.

Also understanding the diversity of your organization and implementing practices to ensure inclusivity gives everyone a sense of belonging and value. Staff realize they are an integral part of the organization and that management cares about each individual.

Setting up structures to address burn out, workloads, etc give employees "permission" to tap out if needed. It demonstrates that management and the organization cares enough about the employee well being to put these in place.
