Mindfulness Training for Leaders
Participate in a research-based and results-oriented mindfulness training for leaders, designed to empower both individual and organizational performance.
Design + Wellness Panel
Our environments play a pivotal role in shaping how we live and work. We now know that humans spend over 90% of their time indoors, and leading research suggests that our lifestyles have a bigger impact on our health than our genetic codes. Learn from experts in the design community as they discuss the synergies between workplace design and policies, and examine how they influence culture and employee well-being.
Design + Wellness Breakout Session
After lunch, participate in roundtable discussions exploring the intersection of building design, wellness programs and workplace policy.
Mindful Moment
Enjoy a guided group mindfulness activity.
Scale + Maintain Panel
Health and wellness programs cannot be developed with a “one size fits all” mentality. They must be flexible enough to scale, but also specific enough to meet the unique needs of your employees across diverse locations and cultures. Hear from leaders of workplace health at Aetna, Google, SAP, and Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare on strategies for effectively designing and scaling health and wellness programs, along with best practices for evaluating and maintaining their success.
Close the day with another opportunity to connect with one another over happy hour, dinner and time to enjoy Garrison Institute's grounds.
Begin your day with another set of optional wellness activities followed by breakfast.
