Our 2024 Summit theme: Wellness in the Workplace

Perspectives on integrating wellness into business with a focus on community-building through volunteerism.

We've been hearing from so many HR, community engagement and other CSR professionals about how concerned they are about their employees mental health, community (internally and externally) engagement, and company culture in the context of our new work environments.

  • The surgeon general's report on isolation and loneliness named volunteering as an antidote, and Dr. Murthy lists workplace wellbeing as one of his current priorities.
  • A recent Forbes article reported on recent research on employee wellness programs: "of all the programs offered, only one led to the conclusion that it increased the wellbeing of the employee who engaged in it: the opportunity to do charity or volunteer work
  • One study found that volunteering at least once a week gives you the same boost to well-being as a salary increase from $20,000 to $75,000 (Thrive Global).

Join us as we highlight ways to engage, support, and retain employees with tactics for integrating wellness initiatives into your company culture.

Please note, refunds are not available for this event.
