  • Creating a Resilient & Healthy Workplace Culture
    Nov 8 2021

    Sue McKenzie Dicks, Vice President of Healthy Culture at Rogers Behavioral Health & Director of Rogers InHealth, presented recently for Ixonia Bank’s Women in Business Speaker Series in a webinar.  Our host was Peggy Stebbins, Ixonia Bank’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

    For many of us, our jobs are marathons. And when our careers contribute to Compassion Fatigue, there are ways to lessen the impact.  One place to start is having conversations with your team to build shared accountability for a Culture of Compassion in the workplace.  Also, looking at expectations and setting clear boundaries will help create a more resilient and healthy workplace culture.  Listen for more resources and strategies to support mental wellbeing, especially in these unusual times.
