Workplace Wellness That Works
Start a Movement
A healthier, happier workforce is good for people, good for the bottom line and essential for building a winning team. Yet, while most employees have access to wellness, do these programs actually work? Evidence suggests that most do not. Over 80% of eligible employees opt out and rates of stress and poor health continue to soar. It doesn’t have to be this way. Learn about the steps every employer can take to truly make a difference. Come away inspired to start a movement of well-being in your organization.
Multipliers of Well-Being
What the best team leaders do differently
Most leaders continue to view wellness as being outside of their scope, disconnected from the bottom line, and something to be addressed by HR. But, the research repeatedly suggests that the extent to which employees are well largely comes down to leaders - especially managers. This talk outlines the critical role that every team leader plays in embedding wellness into the fabric of business as usual, and the specific steps that each can take to become a Multiplier of Well-Being.
Born to Move, Told to Sit
How to future-proof our world by getting in motion
As human beings, we are designed to move. Motion is good for our bodies & good for our brains. The problem is, our society literally mandates us to sit.
