Multipliers of Well-Being
What the best team leaders do differently A healthier, happier workforce is good for people and good for organizations. Meanwhile, 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 when they are at work largely comes down to leadership commitment - 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. The problem is, we live in a society that literally mandates us to sit. Learn about the “biological-cultural mismatch” we've collectively created (born to move, told to sit), why getting active is more than just getting a workout and how you can infuse movement into your daily work routine, even when there’s “no time.” After hearing this inspiring talk, you’ll rethink the next time you ask someone to “Have a seat!” |
Workplace Wellness that Works
How to build a winning culture The evidence is clear: a healthier, happier workforce is good for people, good for the bottom line and essential for building a winning team. But, while most employees have access to wellness, do these programs actually work? Evidence suggests that most do not. Over 80% of eligible employees are opting out and rates of stress and poor health continue to soar. It doesn’t have to be this way. Learn about why every organization cannot afford to overlook employee well-being, and the steps each can take to truly make a difference. You will walk out inspired to start a movement of well-being in your organization. Me At My Best
How to drive personal performance through well-being What are the keys to not just surviving — but fully thriving? How can you become “Me At My Best” – whatever that looks like for you? Through a combination of stories and science, learn about the secrets needed to thrive. You'll get up to speed on the multiple dimensions needed to be your best self: physical, emotional, social, financial, career and community. Come away refreshed and armed with specific takeaways to catapult yourself into a revitalized way of living. |
