• Newest thinking around well-being
– Pro: Everyone wants a great culture
– Con: It’s tough to address
• Some ideas:
– Identify what’s working well. Is there:
- A great manager/supervisor who’s widely respected?
- A positive, well-respected employee?
– Get employee feedback on what’s great, or has potential to be made great
– Initiate culture with senior leadership as part of your overall conversation about
well-being
- Are we leveraging all we can?
- Where are our opportunities?
