Six Dimensions of Wellness

The six dimensions of wellness are:

Vitality

Optimism

Mindfulness

Authenticity

Purpose

Sense of wellbeing

Our five Wellbeing focus areas

Environment

Culture

We want to colleagues to feel they are part of a safe, inclusive and supportive community.

Financial

Wellbeing champions

To support our wellbeing strategy, our Wellbeing Champions across the organisations play a key role in developing and supporting a culture of wellness. They do this by taking an active part in promoting activities and events, encouraging colleagues to access relevant health and wellbeing opportunities, sharing best practice and stories of success, signposting colleagues to relevant wellbeing resources and services, being a role model and promoting a healthy culture.

"We have a clear people roadmap that supports this aim, centred around our five people priorities that span your working life at the IET. We want all our colleagues to feel inspired to join, enabled to do their very best, supported by their best endeavours, encouraged to live our values and developed to achieve their full potential. The wellbeing of our people is therefore at the heart of everything we do." Morna Dason-Barber, IET Director of Human Resources
