Organizational Wellness & Learning Systems (OWLS) is a science-based consulting and training service in the area of Integral Organizational Wellness™. The workplace-whether a large corporation or small business—plays an important role in the health and well-being of working adults as well as their families. In turn, the health of workers has a tremendous effect on workplace productivity and bottom-line results.
Vision: In our increasingly fast-paced culture, organizations need innovative ways to create or maintain a healthy environment and still realize profit. We partner with worksites to offer comprehensive, modular, and customized programs that inspire renewable vitality, productivity, and sense of organizational community. By integrating learning, productivity, and health, organizational members—at individual, group, and global levels—experience a renewed sense of growth and quality in their work, in life, and work-life synergy.
Mission: To enhance the well-being and continuous learning capacity of organizations, their cultures, the people who work in them, and their families. We facilitate transformative experiences in the workplace and community environment that engender wholeness and presence in the work-life sphere.
There is a positive feedback loop between individual health and overall organizational health. When individual workers are healthy, know how to manage stress and time, or are simply “in balance,” then teamwork or team “spirit” is positive and energetic. The atmosphere or climate at work can also feel more vital, friendly, and socially healthy. The work climate may also be “healthy” for a number of reasons such as good communication, fairness, respect, good benefits, or simply the presence of a positive and strong leader. When a work climate is healthy, there is a greater chance that employees will also be healthy.
Our purpose at OWLS is to help businesses understand, improve, and maintain the positive feedback system between worker health and total organizational health. All our work is based on scientific research and is customized to meet your unique set of needs, risks, and current level of wellness. We use a variety of tools to help, including: employee surveys, culture audits, workshops, coaching at all levels (worker to executive), team retreats, design of assessment or performance appraisal systems, and policy development. OWLS’ previous clients include organizations in these areas: federal and local governments, military, hospitality/hotel, healthcare, construction, police and 9-1-1, professional organizations, and higher education. Our president, Dr. Joel B. Bennett, is available for public speaking.
