Session Focus: Leadership Principles to Advocate for Mental Health and Foster a Culture of Workplace Well-Being

Last month, the Executive Learning Exchange’s (ELE) Wisconsin Cohort hosted Leadership Perspectives: Wellness & Isolation | People-First Talent Practices @ Froedtert. This engaging session highlighted the importance of addressing workplace wellness and isolation as part of holistic talent management practices.

"Given the profound consequences of loneliness and isolation, we have an opportunity, and an obligation, to make the same investments in addressing social connection that we have made in addressing tobacco use, obesity, and the addiction crisis." - Dr. Vivek H. Murthy, US Surgeon General

Building on these discussions, our upcoming Zoom session invites HR and talent leaders to delve deeper into the report's implications for leadership development programs within their organizations. Join us for a dynamic ideation session where ELE talent leaders will collaborate to create a robust toolkit emphasizing mental well-being. Kate Nitschke, Head of Wellbeing at Froedtert Hospital, previously shared valuable insights on practical strategies for fostering a culture of mental well-being. In this collaborative environment, we aim to define actionable steps leaders can take to integrate mental health advocacy into their leadership practices. Given the profound consequences of loneliness and isolation, as highlighted by Dr. Vivek H. Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General, "we have an opportunity, and an obligation, to make the same investments in addressing social connection that we have made in addressing tobacco use, obesity, and the addiction crisis." Does your current leadership development program equip leaders to champion mental well-being? Join us to enhance your approach and ensure your leaders are prepared to support their teams effectively.
