What does well-being in the workplace look like? From generation to generation, job to job, the response looks different.
But, the latest trend has the answer looking more holistic. Being healthy isn’t just about physical performance, but also your mind, emotions, and social relationships. Many companies fall short of this standard and still wonder why their employees’ performance is not up to par. To get the most out of your talent, you need to ensure your team’s complete success and well-being. In his own line of work, Graham Barkus has noticed what works — and he’s made it his mission to help companies reach the next level through the human touch.
