#3: Integrate, Don’t Separate

Connecting the Dots

• Bring current wellness resources where leaders and employees already

assemble.

• Reflect your company’s vision, values and strategy within employee wellness.

• Deliver value to leaders.

• Find collaborative opportunities that naturally tie into

wellness.

What thoughts came up for you?

I have other things to do…

Should have…

Would have...

Could have...

What if I mess up?...

It’s not fair…

I can’t get a meeting with them...

I’m not a brown noser...

I’m not sure of my first step…

I already have a great relationship with them… Who has the time to meet with everyone?

They should come to me…

They don’t care about wellness…
