Designing work for well-being

How to move beyond health and wellness programs

Well-being has become top of mind for many organizations in the wake of the recent pandemic. But leaders and employees still struggle with how to move beyond health and wellness programs to make well-being part of the culture. Deloitte surveyed 6,000 professionals across the globe for its 2021 Global Human Capital Trends report to find out how organizations can position themselves to thrive moving forward. One important trend that emerged is that integrating well-being into work will be vital in a post-COVID world.

On this episode, special guest host Colleen Reilly, a PhD candidate and teaching professor at the University of Denver with over twenty years experience serving as a catalyst for positive change for individuals and organizations interviews Deloitte’s chief well-being officer Jen Fisher on the well-being findings from the 2021 Human Capital Trends report.

The pandemic has put well-being front and center and we continue to hear stories about a deterioration in the mental well-being of the workforce. I think it's really forcing organizations and executives to take a look and say, ‘How can we address this moving forward?’ ‘How can we start to fix this issue in a more meaningful way?’
