It’s 2023, and we are in a place where the pandemic left our people more vulnerable to burnout and stress than they ever were before. The focus on wellbeing has completely changed and what was once offered as a company benefit is now a key strategy for growth & employee engagement. According to Gallup, 28% of U.S. workers experience regular burnout on the job. And as a result, employees are leaving their jobs to preserve their mental health, leaving companies to lose more talent than seen in prior years.
With this in mind, employees are calling on leaders to prioritize well-being in the workplace. Organizations must equip managers, teams, and employees to create and maintain psychologically safe workplace cultures. When companies develop strategies for managing and supporting employee well-being, they empower people to thrive inside and outside of their workplace. Additionally, businesses with healthy, thriving employees increase retention and productivity.
During achieve Engagement’s Employee Well-Being event, you will learn how to build an environment that proactively promotes and protects employee well-being as well as develop a plan to prepare your company for the well-being-related challenges that are bound to arise in the future.
Join us to learn more about how you can develop a well-being strategy for your organization's future.

Keynote - Uncover The Hidden & Devastating Microstresses Within Your Organization
Rob Cross, Author of, “The Microstress Effect”
We often spend our time solving some of the larger obvious problems that damage our overall well-being, but it's actually the little things that can pile up and create big problems for our people. In fact, small stresses trigger some of the same physical effects that big ones do.
The long-term effect is devastating for your people and the organization. The challenge is understanding what these hidden & devastating microstresses are and what to do about it. The good news is that once you learn about microstress, you can fight back.
Join Rob Cross, and learn how to set your organization free from the microstress that are weighing your people down.
