Episode 11
Wellness Professional and Health Coach Jenny Call talks with Lindsay Heck about the current climate on W&M's campus in regards to the staff wellbeing during these challenging times. She discusses that many essential employees have continued to work non-stop during this past year and how their work goes unrecognized. She provides some advice on how we can cultivate a community where all employees can flourish and how hearing about the work and needs of staff on campus will build awareness and empathy. This provides students the ability gain understanding of the value staff provide and be motivated to show appreciation.
