WINNING STRATEGIES
1. Emphasis on Top to Bottom Wellbeing: Get to know people and their story, no matter who that team member is within your organization. The power of listening is essential for organizational wellbeing. Put your vision out there and what wellbeing means so everyone can be on the same page.
2. Caring about employees from a personal standpoint. Without connecting authentically, there is a lack of trust and over-focus on caring about employees from a work standpoint. Reach out to people and let them know that you care and prove that with your actions.
3. Honor your commitments. Anything that is difficult is worth going for. Our brand is a Live It to Give It Model and wellbeing is so important to us.
