Presentation Summary
HR professionals, are you feeling like your workforce is running on fumes? Burnout, stress, and low engagement are plaguing workplaces, and traditional 'wellness initiatives' often take a siloed approach, addressing mental or physical health alone, and ignoring cultural causes. This interactive presentation goes beyond the band-aid, providing a holistic approach to improve worker resilience, and therefore productivity and engagement.
Presentation Learning Objectives
1. Crystal-clear understanding of how poor employee resilience impacts your business.
2. Tangible tools and strategies to cultivate a thriving, resilient workforce.
3. Confidence to advocate for and implement impactful HR initiatives that promote employee wellbeing and company profitability.
Speaker Bio:
Cassie Christopher empowers leaders to create greater wellbeing during the workday through supportive management strategies and worker self-care practices. As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Workplace Wellbeing Consultant, and humor-wielding energetic changemaker, Cassie injects action into building resilient, adaptable teams that thrive amidst change.
Formally trained in designing and delivering workplace wellness programs, Cassie noticed that all the money spent on these programs was wasted unless employees experienced a supportive workplace culture and manager. Now, in addition to helping individuals improve their mental and physical health, Cassie trains leaders on the supportive policies and skills they can implement to empower their workers, leading to a more engaged workforce that experiences less burnout and a more profitable company.
A University of Washington business grad with an MSc in Nutrition, Cassie blends evidence-based practices with real-world experience in high-growth companies. A recognized professional speaker, Cassie is a 2024 NSA Northwest Storytelling Champion.
When not on stages or in boardrooms, she trains future well-being champions in the art of behavior change coaching at Bastyr University and works with women struggling with binge and emotional eating in her private nutrition practice. You can find Cassie eating good food or on beach walks with her family in Edmonds, WA. (Just don't mention sardines – she draws the line!)
