Transforming Workplaces to Achieve Worker Well-Being

The concept of work is being redefined faster than most people can keep up. New technologies and rapidly evolving work demands arrive at a dizzying pace. New employment arrangements and global platforms for work are now the new normal. This session examines the new way we work and unpacks what we know about the tight link between work and well-being. Salary, scheduling flexibility, interactions with teammates and supervisors, and access to paid leave are among the factors that impact our work experiences, which then impact organizational performance and outcomes. The session discusses Total Worker Health®, an integrated approach to advancing worker well-being. We also outline a new model and assessment tool for understanding worker well-being. This research-to-practice session highlights concrete examples and provides fundamental steps you can take today.
