Holistic Wellness Programs in OD and
How They Affect Employee Engagement
Are These Programs Worth Money, Time, and Effort?
The February 4 edition of Gallup Business Journal posed this question: “When you examine your company’s current investment in wellness, does it focus on health and wellness alone, or does it encompass the other key elements that influence how your employees experience their lives?”
Gallup goes on to describe key elements of people’s lives that companies should focus on to “improve the bottom line”. With Gallup on board with Wellbeing, should more companies and organizations consider the whole person when determining ways to improve their bottom line?
This presentation and discussion will dive into this question along with where work has been, where it is now and where it is going. We will also take a look at what local companies are doing in Holistic Wellness, and perhaps inspire a more holistic approach to employee engagement.
