Struggling to Attract & Retain Employees?
Organizations around the world are struggling to figure out what the secret sauce is to attracting and retaining top talent. The problem is that the secret lies in their ability to figure out how to maximize employee wellbeing. But this is a highly complex topic that requires real leadership commitment combined with a well-thought-out strategy. And most execs don't have the time to figure it out. This retreat gives leaders the opportunity to get a "crash course" in workplace wellbeing in only 3 days... and leave the retreat with a "wellbeing plan" in hand.
ABOUT THE RETREAT
In this, uniquely crafted 3-day retreat, senior-level leaders will learn the ins and outs of how to develop a comprehensive, long-term wellbeing strategy that can be successfully embedded into their culture while feeling and experiencing what wellbeing means in one of the most beautiful settings in the world.
What makes this retreat unique? This event is unique in that it combines a powerful curriculum with an immersive experience. We want leaders to get the much-needed “how-to” information around workplace wellbeing, while also living and feeling what it means to be well by spending time in a beautiful setting, eating healthy, meditating, doing yoga and disconnecting from technology.
