While Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) offer a basic life raft, their low utilization rates reveal a need for a more comprehensive approach to employee wellness. In 2023, the Office of the U.S. Surgeon General sounded the alarm on “Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation.” The modern workplace, while increasingly connected through technology, is paradoxically experiencing a growing disconnect. This impacts not only employee well-being but also erodes engagement and productivity, hindering organizational success, especially in a society where employees spend more than 60% of their waking hours engaged with work, whether remote, hybrid, or onsite. Just as a ship needs a healthy and engaged crew to navigate the seas of well-being, organizations rely on the vitality of their employees to reach their destination. This session invites mid-sized companies to raise the sails and set a new course towards a culture of wellness that truly engages and supports their workforce. We'll explore how to address the loneliness epidemic, reignite employee purpose, and champion well-being within workplaces, acting as lifelines for a healthy crew. Discover the power of a holistic approach that addresses not only physical health but also the mental, emotional, and social needs of employees. Led by Workplace Wellness Expert, Vanessa Zamy, this session provides practical strategies and a framework for anchoring well-being in your company culture. It's full steam ahead to a sustainable wellness program that fosters resilience, deepens connection, and unlocks the full potential of your employees, ensuring they are prepared to navigate any challenge and contribute to organizational success.
