What does it take to support well-being in a workplace where compassion is at the core of everything you do?
Louisa Jewell sits down with Stephanie Fowler, Director of People and Culture at Canuck Place Children’s Hospice, a Canadian Workplace Well-Being Awards (CWWA) winner, for a powerful conversation on care, resilience, and workplace well-being.
From initiatives like Help Texts for grief support to offering up to 15 weeks of paid bereavement leave, Canuck Place is ensuring that staff feel supported in navigating the emotional realities of their work.
The conversation also highlights their commitment to a trauma-informed workplace — equipping leaders and teams with the tools to understand compassion fatigue and prioritize psychological safety in daily practice.
Through their People, Culture, and Environment Dashboard, Canuck Place is redefining how success is measured — tracking kindness, respect, and well-being alongside operational outcomes.
