Live: Elevating Employee Wellness with Managers

What is the best way to elevate employee wellness? Managers!
Join me for my June LinkedIn Live with Pete Seljevold, a Program Administrator from Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota (BCBSND), and Heather Ostrowski, AVP, Organization Development Specialist with Gate City Bank, to talk about a manager-driven movement of wellbeing that is elevating employee wellness across the State of North Dakota and beyond.
Now, with over 90 workshops delivered and over 650 managers trained, “Elevate” (which is a joint initiative that focuses on managers, launched by BCBSND in partnership with Motion Infusion) is helping BCBSND customers to increase engagement with their existing wellness programs and to enhance wellbeing for their employees.
In an honest discussion, we’ll talk about the story and vision behind this initiative told through the lens of a specific case study (Gate City), the barriers we have encountered along the way, the unexpected wins we have generated, and how managers really might be our greatest hope in ensuring better health and well-being for all.
During the live conversation, we will discuss the following topics:
- Make the case to leadership and decision-makers as to why well-being needs to be a strategic priority and why traditional individual interventions are insufficient.
- Cite evidence (from broader research and original data collected) as to why managers are differentiators and can serve as key drivers of well-being, and how well-being needs to be integrated into a manager’s leadership style.
- How to activate managers to become “Multipliers of Wellbeing,” employing three simple calls to action: Do, Speak, and Create.
- Discuss real-world case studies, along with the latest research, to overcome the inevitable barriers that will arise.
Bring your questions, and we look forward to ‘seeing’ you on LinkedIn, Instagram, and RUclips on June 26th at 11AM PT.
