Did you know? Women who experience high levels of stress are 46% more likely to seek new job opportunities.

We take a holistic approach into the critical topic of wellness in the workplace and how it intertwines with our overall career satisfaction and significantly impacts how we show up in our personal lives.

HR executive Dr. Merary Simeon and career coach Courtney Copelin share their insights on how both employers and employees share the responsibility of fostering a healthy work environment. 

Learn how to identify your own needs and stressors, whether they stem from your  workload, workplace culture, or personal circumstances. Get help to better assess these factors, so you can engage in meaningful conversations with your manager about available resources and benefits that can support your well-being.

We also highlight the importance of energy management over traditional notions of work-life balance. How you spend your time outside of work and how those activities contribute to or detract from your overall wellness are also part of the equation.

Episode Highlights:

• Accessing benefits and resources at work

• Taking a holistic perspective with your career

• Identifying your needs

• Setting boundaries

• The role of leaders in supporting wellness

• Wellness beyond the workplace

• Managing your energy, not your time
