In today's podcast episode, I talk to Dr. Richard Safeer, author and Chief Medical Director of Employee Health and Well-Being for Johns Hopkins Medicine. Dr. Safeer shares tangible ways workplaces can create well-being initiatives that change culture instead of just checking a box. Workplace well-being matters because individuals are spending over 2,000 hours a year in these spaces. Creating cultures of well-being isn't just necessary for individuals' health, but it is essential to foster a collaborative and creative workplace. Take a listen to this episode and share your takeaways with Rich and I on Linkedin.
