Why the workplace is the next frontier in wellbeing

Toxic workplaces certainly existed before COVID-19, but it took a pandemic for companies to stop and notice that employees were overburdened and burned out. For many, this shift towards corporate wellness programs, flexible work and valuing diversity and inclusion has been a long time coming. And like many pandemic-induced movements, this isn’t just a trend. Workplace wellbeing is here to stay.

This issue of MarketWell explores the working world and how wellbeing doesn’t just fit in, but how it needs to be fully ingrained.

When was the last time you did a check-up on wellbeing in your workplace? You may know what you do “well” in support of wellbeing, but is your team aware?

Need help? I’d be happy to chat about developing wellbeing strategies and communications for your team.
