Vocational wellness includes the ability to integrate skills, interest, and values which will heighten job satisfaction. It begins early in one's experience as an individual continually evaluates interests, goals, and attitudes. The result is an ability to identify a well work environment. A well work environment is one that is safe, supportive and encourages personal growth.
