Designing Employee Well-being Beyond the Gym Stipend

Perks aren't enough for mental health. Design a holistic well-being strategy that addresses the root causes of stress.

About this session

Most well-being programs stop at gym memberships or meditation apps, leaving the structural sources of workplace burnout untouched. This session shifts the focus from surface-level perks to the systemic causes of stress within the organization. You will leave with a concrete strategy that targets work habits and culture rather than just offering tools for recovery.

Why it works

By forcing a move from symptom-relief to root-cause analysis, the session prevents the discussion from defaulting to easy, low-impact solutions. The sequence builds consensus on which stressors are most damaging, ensuring that the final action plan is backed by the people who have to implement and live with the changes.

What you’ll walk away with

  • Clear actionable outcomes from a 4-step facilitated process
  • Increased participant engagement and buy-in
  • Documented decisions and next steps
  • Improved team alignment on the topic

Who it’s for
