Career wellness, often referred to as occupational or professional wellness, is one dimension of overall wellness that focuses on the well-being and satisfaction one experiences in their work or career. It encompasses various aspects of your professional life and how they contribute to your overall sense of happiness and fulfillment. Career wellness is an essential component of your overall well-being, and achieving it can have several benefits:
- Increased job satisfaction: when you have career wellness, you are more likely to find satisfaction in your job. You enjoy your work, feel motivated to perform well, and find meaning in what you do.
