Moderator: Stacey Bruington, Wellness Consultant, TAC | Speaker: Laura Putnam The wellness industry is exploding. Yoga pants are everywhere. We’re inundated with podcasts on health, wellness and living with intentionality. There’s a new mindfulness app coming out every day and a Soul Cycle or Barry’s Bootcamp on every city corner. Employers offer a dizzying array of wellness perks and programs, and every airport bookstore displays a lineup of books on how to be healthy. Yet, by every measure, our health, wellbeing, and overall happiness is getting worse, not better.

Moderator: Mark Zollitsch, Sr. Wellness Consultant | TAC Speaker: Laura Putnam Given the world we live in (not conducive to better health and wellbeing), leveraging every workplace to promote better health and wellbeing is a really good idea. Moreover, the evidence is clear: a healthier, happier workforce is good for people, good for the bottom line, and essential for building high-performing teams. The good news is that nearly all employees today do have access to some type of wellness programming. But do these programs actually work? Evidence suggests most do not. In a provocative and insightful talk, Laura Putnam, author of Workplace Wellness that Works, shows you CAN get your workplace wellbeing efforts to actually work.

Moderator: Clarissa Messinger, Employee Benefits Consultant, TAC | Speaker: Laura Putnam Are managers our last great hope? When it comes to getting workplace wellness to work, they just might be. Here’s the thing: Whether or not wellbeing is part of the job description, every manager is in fact uniquely positioned to make or break their team members’ wellbeing. Moreover, “culture" largely comes down to what happens within the team. In this fast-moving session, learn about how managers can be the key drivers in launching “middle-out” movements of wellbeing, and the specific steps that each can take to become a Multiplier of Wellbeing!
