If there is one positive thing to come out of the pandemic, it is the increased focus on wellness.

The impact of employee health on productivity has never been more obvious. Having seen the disruption caused by the pandemic, we will never again take absences caused by chronic conditions or seasonal illnesses for granted. One important idea demonstrated over and over is that people who are fitter overall can often fight off diseases better and recover more quickly, suggesting that employees' physical fitness and overall health should be of interest to business leaders.

Of course, physical wellness should not be our only concern. Mental wellbeing is important for everyone, and from a business standpoint it affects such critical areas as engagement, retention, collaboration, and innovation. Mental health has traditionally been left undiscussed in this part of the world, and we look forward to changing that during our session.

It's worth remembering that wellness programs affect more than just health. Additional benefits include personal growth, such as improving self-confidence and self-discipline. Wellness programs also offer opportunities for leadership development and other professional soft skills' practice.

Following lunch, the session will include distinguished panelists discussing the business value of, and methods for achieving, physical and mental wellness among your workforce. We will also have an opportunity for a guided small-group discussion with a few of your peers, followed by a larger group discussion to share effective practices. You will leave the event with a better idea of how to improve employee wellness and what impact you can expect that to have.

And who knows? In addition to improving your employees' wellness, you just might learn something to improve your own, too.
