A gym membership, beanbags and a well-stocked coffee machine hardly define employee wellness in the workplace. And, yet, they have become nearly synonymous with the phenomenon. In this enlightening episode of Mindful Management, host Shenandoah Chefalo welcomes Jasmin Dennis, founder and CEO of Jazzdhealth and Wellness, for a powerful discussion on transforming workplace wellness beyond traditional physical health programs.
