Believe in the significance of wellbeing.
Wellbeing is essential and it’s a right that should be afforded to all. Employers have the power, influence, and responsibility to catalyze wellbeing in organizations as foundational (people), strategic (organizational), and systemic (community). Everyone is at their best when they're grounded in their own wellbeing.
Talks that connect to this principle will highlight the importance of first believing that wellbeing is significant and how that shows up in organizations through: purpose, operationalized values, valuing people and their experiences, zooming out to see the bigger picture of how wellbeing is impacted across multiple pathways, shifting wellbeing from a solution to the ultimate outcome.
Craft the narrative.
We remain students of the human experience. We continuously listen and respond to our employees' voices and to the needs of people. We tell the stories of the data, the workforce, Wisconsin’s employers, and our fellow wellbeing strategists.
Talks that connect to this principle will highlight the importance of understanding that wellbeing derives from peoples' unique experiences and circumstances so we must be continuously learning and expanding through listening, observing, and gathering new information.

Cherish growth.
Change is inevitable, and we accept change and the accompanying challenges through our resilience. Growth is born from creativity and innovation and the continuous desire to flourish and be better. Employers who cherish the growth and development of their employees are directly supporting their wellbeing.

Bravely act together.
