The Science of Well-Being

Science has shown that our wellbeing is like our fingerprints, we are all unique. Understanding emotions in ourselves and others is central to improving wellbeing.

Designed to help employees at all levels improve their mental, physical, social and environmental wellbeing, The Science of Wellbeing is built on the science of embodied behavior change and healthy habit formation. 

This comprehensive program rolls out across your workforce in four powerful, interactive 2-hour sessions that result in proactive strategies to lower levels of stress and stress-related leave claims, reduce levels of absenteeism, and increase levels of productivity and employee engagement. Deep, sustained behavior change is leveraged by customized individual, group or team coaching support that support your desired outcomes.
