merriam-webster defines compliance as the
act or process of doing what you have been
asked or ordered to do: the act or process
of complying. The definition of compliance
for many of us in the o&p profession: whatever
medicare asks or orders us to do. To me, though, compliance is a
culture—a way of life for a practice.
There are several complicated academic definitions of "core values" but i prefer something simple. Your core values are the behaviors you expect from your people. Core values are clear statements of how you expect people in your company to act. There are no studies i'm aware of about the profit-building power of core values per se, but there are plenty of studies about the power of culture. Culture is the collection of internalized rules of behavior for the people in your company. Those rules form the basis for your core values.
By identifying your core values and making them explicit, you shape your culture. That's important, because your core values and culture do several things for your company:.
Child labor, international variations in attitudes toward
children and war
children, international variations in attitudes toward
chronic diseases common in developing countries

family reunification

I am proud to say that i have been involved in corporate wellness since the mid-1980s. Helping employees live healthier and happier lives, as well as supporting employers with best-in-class tools to improve their cultures, have been my passion and purpose.
I have witnessed and worked on corporate wellness since the time when physical health was the most important aspect of workers’ health. I cannot say i have worked with wellness since its inception, though. Corporate wellness has been around longer than many people think. To predict the future of wellness, we must understand its past.
