‘Be more tolerant of differences and how they are expressed.’

‘Design performance measures that allow for creative surprises and that acknowledge differences in trajectories of development.’

‘Encourage radically honest conversations about people’s hopes and fears throughout the organization.’

‘Offer opportunities for adding extra value in people’s personal development as well as professional development.’

‘Cultures are significant suppliers of meaning.’

‘Communicate what you stand for and what you take pride in- clearly and simply.’

‘Don’t assume your motives (and your sense of what’s meaningful) are share by others.’

‘Take in different experiences/get out of your comfort zone to find the meaningful.’

‘Take every opportunity to connect your organization’s efforts and outputs to the wider community.’

‘What the whole world wants is a good job.’ Wow!!!!

‘People want a job that uses their God-given strengths every day with manager who encourages their development.’

‘The five key elements of wellbeing are career, social, financial, physical and community- in that order.’

‘Organizations that acknowledge and apply this interdependence can transform their employees’ suffering and struggling into a culture of net thriving. … Focusing on just one area of your wellbeing usually leads to failure. It is nearly impossible to continually improve on any wellbeing goal if you don’t consider the other elements.’

‘Many employers have limited their focus on ‘wellness’ to encouraging employees to eat healthy and exercise rather than focusing on the element that matters most- career wellbeing.’

‘Social wellbeing is woven into all other aspects of your life. … Social wellbeing changes how you interpret everything around you.’

‘Your employees may be suffering from financial stress that is ultimately affecting their health and performance at work.’

‘Make communicating the importance of physical wellbeing an expectation for managers.’

‘Train managers to have effective pay conversations with employees to improve perception of fairness.’

‘People want to know that their life matters beyond work.’

‘Give employees opportunities to share what they are doing in their community with coworkers- and reward their involvement.’
