‘Companies need to create and invest in long-term strategies for developing healthy, thriving teams, much like they already do in the areas of finance, operations, and technology.’

‘Your teams won’t reach their full performance potential until you uncover and address the root source of chronic stress and disengagement and address them, before actively seeking to incorporate the root drivers of thriving and high performance.’

‘Leaders need to be aware of the tension that workplace policies create within the ABC needs, specially between autonomy and belonging, and find intentional ways to develop both.’

‘It’s important for leaders to identify the root cause of workload and overcommitment.’

‘Don’t be afraid to have conversations with your internal and external clients and customers about workload priorities.’

‘Developing great teaming practices, timeboxing top priorities, conducting meetings audits, and other simple strategies can provide outsized stress relief to your team.’

‘Employees crave meaning and values alignment in their work experiences.‘

‘Speaking in the language of an employee’s values can help them to prioritize their work and more clearly see the impact they are making.’

‘Sticky recognition leads to mattering. There are important business and well-being outcomes that occur when a person feels like they matter at work.’

‘Saying thank you ‘plus’ is one of the best ways to convey sticky recognition.’

‘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.’
