Wellness Driven Leadership

Today’s workplace has a problem.

In recent years, there’s been rising awareness and rhetoric around wellness in the workplace, especially among younger generations. More than 70% of Gen Z workers are looking for better mental health resources in the workplace, and 61% would leave their current job to find them elsewhere. This expectation for employers to care more about their employees holistically expands to Millennial workers as well, and when these expectations aren’t met, it hurts employee retention.

No one is exempt.

How confidently do you currently feel in taking care of the wellness of your team members? What about your own personal wellness? And what resources do you have? 

What can we do about it?

Glad you asked. We have a course for that!

Wellness Driven Leadership is for all levels of leaders who want to prioritize their own wellness, learn how to positively influence others’ wellness, and take action on creating a culture that champions wellness.

As we enter this new normal of supporting the whole person at work, there are three important ways that you, as a leader, can start supporting employee wellness today – and we cover them all:

  • First, care for your own personal wellness. You can’t be expected to care for your employees’ wellness if you don’t take care of yourself first. Remember, “you can’t pour from an empty cup.”
  • Secondly, redefine “work/life balance.” Let’s be real. Work and life are no longer separate. So, it’s important for leaders and organizations to take a more holistic, sustainable approach in supporting the whole person that shows up each day.
  • And finally, create the right conditions for your employees to thrive. Checking in 1:1 with employees, offering space for your team to connect on topics outside of their day-to-day work, and proactively keeping a pulse on workloads and burnout are ways leaders can help their teams thrive.

You’ll learn all this and more in just 4 informative and engaging sessions.

The Wellness Driven Leadership program

This in-person program held in Carmel, Indiana, is 4 months long, with a 2.5-hour session each month. (Small time commitment, big results.) Each session builds upon the last to create a strong foundation for wellness-driven leadership:

Session 1: Personal Wellness

  • Learn what wellness is, through the helpful and clear framework of the Wellness Wheel
  • Gather data on your wellness current state and build a toolkit to take action

Session 2: Wellness Management

  • Uncover current roadblocks to achieving wellness
  • Learn warning signs of burnout – and how to proactively manage and get in front of it

Session 3: Team Wellness

  • Learn how to build connection in the workplace through the lens of wellbeing and the Wellness Wheel

Session 4: Influencing Wellness at Work

  • Audit your organization’s current wellness landscape + create an action plan on how to influence it

A study from John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that there are lower absenteeism rates among employees whose leaders clearly communicate strategies on health promotion.

The time is now.

Wellness isn’t just a buzzword or a tactic – today, understanding and caring for employee wellness is table stakes. For tangible tools and resources to care for the wellness of yourself, your team, and your organization, join our next cohort of Wellness-Driven Leadership.
