Well-being, Workplace guidance, Holistic, Career development, workAbstract
This article explores the way that career professionals can have career conversations which integrate work and well-being. As the boundaries between work and non-work have become more blurred, it is vital that career professionals and organisations support individuals to take care of themselves and not just to focus on getting and keeping a job. The article considers the published material on the topic of career well-being as well as the research and case studies developed by Career Counselling Services (CCS) through their Balance Career Coaching toolkit designed to support the overlapping needs of individuals and employers at work.
