For individuals, the science broadly shows that high thriving is linked to less anxiety, depression, and burnout, stress buffering, faster healing, decreased illness and healthcare usage, healthier lifestyles and workstyles, purpose, happiness, and meaning in life, supportive social relationships, and the capacity to deal with complexity and change.
For organizations, high thriving is linked to employee productivity and engagement, prosocial behaviors and teamwork, staff and customer loyalty, workplace citizenship, brand effectiveness, environmental responsibility, profitability, agility, and positive work culture.
At Wisdom Works, we believe a focus on thriving is not only about getting a personal and organizational return on investment—thriving redefines how we live, work, grow, relate, and succeed.
“Be Well Lead Well Pulse® has the unique combination of the science of wellbeing and direction on how to integrate into who we are as leaders. This is not just about good health but creating a healthy and thriving organization to win in the market.”
—Bill Tompkins, Senior Retail Executive
