Employers play an increasingly critical role in public health by the way they treat their employees. A workplace that emphasizes a whole-person approach has the potential to drive greater productivity and performance for all employees, benefiting an employer's bottom line. By listening to their needs, leadership can create a broader sense of engagement and provide a clearer framework of business expectations. For example, Gen Alpha, Gen Z, and Millennial employees are vocal about their desire for mission-driven initiatives and the availability of mental health resources, while employees across generations and industries are pushing for greater empathy and understanding as they experience expanded (and sometimes unexpected) personal and professional responsibilities. This session will highlight business leaders across sectors who will share their insights and best practices for fostering a culture of kindness at work with a whole person health approach to performance that will recruit and retain a high caliber, diverse workforce and optimize an organization's performance now and in the future.
