Abstract

The purpose of this curriculum will help leaders and organizations to gain a better understanding of how using an occupational wellness perspective within their organization builds resiliency and a culture that promotes wellness. Organizations that strategically think more holistically about well-being and wellness by expanding to a wider concept of total organizational wellness in the workplace is linked to improved performance and success (Klien Lurie, S., 2015, p.24). By adopting an occupational wellness approach, organizations increase the effectiveness in leadership practices, foster better employee engagement, and facilitate a healthier organizational culture by using leadership intelligence such as emotional, social, and spiritual intelligence along with cultural agility to implement occupational wellness within organizations.

Successful leaders and organizations must learn to communicate more effectively and increase their creativity to promote wellness within the organization by facilitating new ways of strategically communicating information (Denning, 2007, p.27). The occupational wellness and resiliency training curriculum address the leadership and organizational training needed to build resiliency strategies and practices in leaders incorporating a process, practice, and the organizational infrastructure to support leaders to effectively implement resiliency and promote wellness within the organizational culture.
