LACOE demonstrates a visible commitment to wellness through programs, communication, and

some progressive policies like remote work. However, the lived experience of many employees

inequitable practices, inconsistent leadership, and physical environment issues. Sustainable

wellness at LACOE will require not just events and messaging, but deeper systemic alignment,

consistent application of values, and truly responsive leadership
