Building a Healthy Work Environment to Persevere Through Multiple Challenges

Organizations offering health care and wellness benefits maintain a stronger sense of employee loyalty. Yet health and well-being among employees goes beyond acute or specific physical or mental health needs. How can companies create a culture that emphasizes health through everyday experience? What are the hidden opportunities to nurture this kind of culture? Rather than relying only on standard  benefits to respond in times of unexpected distress, how can organizations address employee needs proactively?

From Day One is a Recertification Provider for SHRM and HRCI. This session is eligible for 3 credits from both organizations. The Activity IDs will be sent to attendees after the conclusion of the session.
