The National Task Force on Lawyer Well-Being has defined occupational well-being as cultivating personal satisfaction, growth and enrichment in work, and striving to maintain financial stability. I like to think of it as simply enjoying what you do to make money.

What are some signs of occupational well-being?

• Involvement in motivating and interesting work
• Open communication with co-workers
• Healthy collaboration with others
• Sense of inspiration and challenge at work
• Sense of accomplishment in work
• Ability to work independently

How to improve your occupational well-being:

• Set goals, create a plan to execute them and work towards them
• Increase knowledge and skills to accomplish goals
• Recognize the benefits and positives in your work life
• Create connections with co-workers
• Talk to your supervisor or HR if you feel improvements to the work environment should be made
