Starting a wellbeing strategy at work is not a matter of cost, it is often a matter of eagerness to make it happen. Organizations have to start focusing on employees well-being and create opportunities for them to reveal their stress levels.

➡️ Encouraging new simple behaviors and reinventing a corporate culture having the employee' wellbeing at its core...

Some zero cost strategies that drive wellbeing impact on organizations:

- Leadership walking the talk on wellbeing practices

- Focus on personal development: create opportunities for employees for work on passion projects that are not related to their day job
