Session Title: Values-Driven Approaches to Supporting the Whole Person at Work

Workplace wellbeing is not one-size-fits-all. This interactive session explores how organizations can move beyond traditional program-based approaches by centering what matters most to people and supporting the whole person at work. Dr. Tesha Crockett-Gibson will examine the role of personal values in wellbeing, engagement, and resilience; explore physical, mental, social, financial, occupational, and growth-related dimensions of wellbeing; and consider how coaching, AI, wearables, and thoughtful work design can support more personalized experiences. Participants will leave with practical ideas for creating workplace environments where people can feel connected, find meaning, and thrive.
