Has a wellness program ever had a positive effect on your well-being? To what degree?

I participated in wellness programs - pilates and a free gym. But I was already so active, that the impact was meagre at best. It would be hard to say I was more well after that. What about you?

That was the subject this week in my discussion with Tim Borys - fitness enthusiast, coach, wellness expert, author, and keynote speaker. We discuss whether or not corporate wellness programs are making a difference to our wellbeing. And, more importantly, how organizations can create more wellbeing.

💪 Wellness programs tend to be surface level - yoga and gyms. Not meaningless but also not that powerful.

🗯️ As the video says below, wellness programs will be totally pointless if your boss is an a*h*.

⚕️We're aiming for wellbeing and that concept extends to all the systems and people in the workplace.

🕺🏻If Tim had $100,000 to invest in creating wellbeing at work, I suspect he would 90% on leadership development.

🔬Leadership development programs are often too tactical to cover topics related to well-being.

What are the goals of your leadership development program? Are you doing an adequate job of training leaders on concepts related to well-being?
