Leading for Wellness: Workplace Wellness Matters
Manage episode 489486734 series 3531427
We’re introducing a NEW series here on Fringe: Leading for Wellness with Dr. Patricia Grabarek and Dr. Katina Sawyer! 🎙️
Patricia and Katina kick things off by digging into why workplace wellness really matters—and why most companies are doing it wrong. From “Generators” who light up teams to “Extinguishers” who drain the energy, they share research, real talk, and personal stories to show how true wellness goes way beyond yoga classes and step challenges.
If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at a “hope you’re well” email… this one's for you 😅
