"What was life like before COVID?"

Once upon a time, many of us believed that one day in the distant future, our children or our children’s children would ask us what life was like during the COVID pandemic. As we start to accept that any sense of normalcy might be history, it’s also starting to feel like our children or our children’s children might instead ask us “what was life like before COVID?”

The same can be said for large and small businesses, higher education, and any organization that relies on people working toward a shared purpose. While COVID’s disruption of the physical world has constrained economic growth, its impact on people’s emotional wellbeing is creating major problems for organizations in the forms of record-breaking resignations, explosive politics, and strains on human connection & collaboration.

How can organizations keep their people thriving as we navigate our shared future? The answers must be rooted in foundational wellbeing, belonging, and authenticity for organizations to be nimble enough to flow from where we are today to where we’re going tomorrow.

Where to start? Center your organization around a shared commitment to help people bring their whole selves to their whole lives.

Webinar: Roadmap to a Better Return on Your Employee Wellbeing Spend

What are your barriers to change in wellbeing design?

We polled participants at our April and early May “Learn from the Leaders” sessions.

Here’s what we found:

Fully 89% of you are “recalculating your route to better wellbeing.”

More than half see “competing priorities,” as their biggest barrier, closely followed by budget, leadership alignment, and lack of a clear roadmap to get there.

Our next webinar in this series will focus on these challenges. Join wellbeing innovation leaders at Willis Towers Watson: John Bremen, Amy DeVylder Levanat, and Wendy Poirier in discussion with our own Eric Zimmerman.

Discover:
– What is driving the employee wellbeing budget now?
– Where employer needs and employee wants intersect.
– How wellbeing, culture and performance come together.
– 3 ways to inspire change that sticks vs just paying for clicks.
