Workforce shortages, rising burnout and increasing operational pressures have caused employee wellness to become a leadership imperative. For executives, supporting the well-being of your teams is no longer just an HR initiative, but a strategic lever for improving organizational performance, reducing costs and building long-term resilience.

Today’s employees want more than generic wellness programs. They’re seeking benefits that deliver meaningful support, measurable results and a clear signal that their organization is invested in their health. Meanwhile, leaders want data-informed tools that uncover risk, drive engagement and support better clinical and financial outcomes.

The challenge is creating wellness programs that are not only effective, but also adopted, trusted and sustained across teams. This requires thoughtful leadership commitment, clear communication and an understanding of the unique needs of your workforce. The solution lies in intentional employee engagement and aligning wellness efforts with your broader culture and business goals. This session will provide practical, evidence-informed strategies to build a healthier workforce and a more sustainable workplace culture. Faculty will explore what works, what doesn’t and how to operationalize wellness as a system-wide value and not just a standalone benefit. Participants will learn how to design a culture of health that empowers your people, strengthens your workforce and supports your system’s mission in an increasingly complex healthcare environment.
