On September 12, WCWI’s vast community gathered in Wisconsin Dells with nearly 500 passionate practitioners and leaders representing organizations throughout Wisconsin and beyond. We came together to explore what it means to design places where people flourish. This year, more than ever, we explored concepts that will continue to help us in shifting our strategies to focus on people-first cultures that foster wellbeing.
The essence of WCWI’s 29th Annual Employee Wellbeing Conference is captured in this word graphic depicting the sentiments of what people need in a favorable environment that will support them to truly develop in a healthy and successful way. We heard from speakers with expertise in employee wellness and in fields that are wellness-adjacent, yet all meaningful in transitioning our strategies to emphasize what matters most when it comes to designing flourishing workplaces.
What can you take from this event – whether you attended or not – to bring this theme to life in your organization and your work?
Kristen Hadeed shared her heartfelt and uniquely personal journey of how she created a healthy environment at her company, where people come to work excited and go home at the end of the day feeling valued and fulfilled. Her message was strong in that we can all be leaders in this effort. *Stay tuned for Kristen’s keynote video that will be accessible to all WCWI members soon!
“People will only truly thrive not when they are pushed to be perfect but when they are encouraged to be their natural best.” Hear more from Kristen through her blog: Kristen Hadeed
