What does it take to build an award-winning culture of wellbeing?

Our next event goes behind the scenes at Valley Children's Healthcare with Kat Remner and Steffani Sanchez, MS NBC-HWC, two workplace wellbeing practitioners helping turn collaboration, employee feedback, data, and creative programming into meaningful action.

In Building an Award-Winning Culture of Wellbeing Through Collaboration, Data and Creativity, they’ll share a case study and practical strategies other organizations can learn from.

Before the event, get to know Kat and Steffani and the experience they bring to this work.

Our volunteer team is growing!

Earlier today, we brought together members of our team for volunteer onboarding and training as we prepare for the next chapter of Wellbeing Think Tank. 🙌

As a volunteer-led nonprofit, so much of what we accomplish is made possible by people who generously contribute their time, expertise, and ideas. Volunteers have been part of Wellbeing Think Tank since the beginning, supporting our events, resources, community, and continued growth.

Thank you to everyone who joined us today and to all of the volunteers who help make this work possible. We’re excited to introduce more of our volunteer leaders soon!

Interested in getting involved? Our next volunteer onboarding session is in September.

When employees stop responding to surveys, the reason may have less to do with apathy and more to do with trust.

If people have shared feedback before and never saw what happened next, they may begin to question whether completing another survey is worth their time. Participation rates can tell us something, but understanding the experience behind those numbers matters.

That is one reason we launched Wellbeing Think Tank Workforce Perspectives, a new initiative designed to better understand how employees experience today's workplace.

Our first survey explores employee surveys, trust, and what happens after feedback is collected.

If you've been asked to complete an employee engagement, culture, or wellbeing survey within the past two years, we'd love to hear about your experience.

The anonymous survey takes about five minutes. surveyhero.com/c/q3survey

Thank you for helping us elevate the voices of today's workforce.

Collecting employee wellbeing data is not the same as using it well.

Too often, organizations launch surveys or programs before getting clear on what they actually need to learn.

In this post, written by Chase Sterling, we explore why better wellbeing strategy starts with better questions:

What are we trying to understand?
What decision will this data inform?
What will we do with what we learn?

Making data work is not about collecting more information. It is about using the right information to guide meaningful action.

Follow along throughout the quarter as we continue exploring how to make data work for healthier, more effective workplaces.

Behind every percentage is a person.

Survey scores, participation rates, and dashboards help us identify patterns, but they never tell the entire story. Pairing data with conversations helps organizations better understand what employees are experiencing and where support is needed most.

Our next event on August 20 explores how Valley Children's Healthcare built a culture of wellbeing by combining employee feedback, collaboration, and creative programming. Their story shows how listening can become meaningful action.

Over 100 workplace wellbeing professionals, HR leaders, researchers, and practitioners joined us for our latest Educational Intensive with Dr. Susan Peters from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health to explore how organizations can move from collecting survey data to creating meaningful action.

A few takeaways participants shared:

• "Don't try to build your own survey tools. Use instruments developed by subject matter experts that have been thoroughly researched and vetted."

• "If you aren't going to, or can't take action on the information you collect, don't ask it at all."

• "The discussion around common survey design mistakes was incredibly helpful."

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed thoughtful questions and discussion. These conversations are what make our community so valuable.

Members with Professional and Practitioner access can also download our Workplace Wellbeing Survey Starter Guide and Workplace Wellbeing Survey Design and Questions resources, designed to help leaders choose better questions, build trust, and turn feedback into meaningful action.
