Reimagining Workplace Well-Being: A Path to Purpose, Connection, and Impact

May 12, 2022

Workplace well-being is at a crossroads. In the wake of a global pandemic, burnout, disconnection, and disillusionment have reshaped employee expectations—and forced employers to rethink what well-being truly means. In her book Reimagining Workplace Well-Being: Fostering a Culture of Purpose, Connection, and Transcendence, well-being strategist and friend of Kumanu Jessica Grossmeier offers a compelling new vision. The book also features a foreword by Dr. Vic Strecher, founder of Kumanu, reinforcing the deep alignment between its principles and Kumanu’s mission.

Grounded in decades of workplace well-being research and enriched by practices drawn from workplace spirituality and ancient wisdom traditions, Grossmeier’s book reframes well-being not just as a program or perk, but as a cultural imperative. It provides a framework for integrating purpose, connection, and transcendence into the fabric of organizational life.

Why It Matters to Kumanu

Kumanu exists to help organizations activate purpose and create more meaningful, resilient workplaces. Grossmeier’s book speaks directly to this vision:

  • It emphasizes the importance of whole-person well-being, not just physical or financial health.
  • It shows how purpose and connection are central to sustainable engagement and performance.
  • It reinforces the need for evidence-based, values-driven approaches to workplace transformation.
