I’ve spent the greater part of my career analyzing, researching, and reporting on organizational culture and their well-being strategies. It took me a few years to realize that we’re getting it all wrong. Despite good intentions, wellness programming often looks more like we’re bailing people out of the water downstream rather than preventing them from falling in upstream.
This understanding led me to investigate what really detracts from our well-being. I found that if we aren’t identifying the root causes of chronic stress and burnout, wellness perks make little to no impact. A costly miscalculation for many global firms.
