Moderator: Stacey Bruington, Wellness Consultant, TAC | Speaker: Laura Putnam Wellness, as an industry, is thriving. But we, as people, are not. Join with Laura Putnam, wellbeing expert, as she takes you on a journey to revisit the world of wellbeing, taking a clear-eyed look at how the American Way is driving us to our chairs, overfeeding us with ultra-processed foods, and hijacking our attention. With a good dose of humor, Laura will show you how real wellbeing – for everyone – can only be achieved when we begin asking the question: What if it’s the water, not the fish?

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!
