Culture of Health

Yesterday, I was the closing keynote of the Conner Strong & Buckelew Wellness Summit in New Jersey.  Many knew about MD Anderson because of the partnership with Cooper University Health Care right down the street.  I talked about how worldwide companies are being challenged to better engage their “overwhelmed employees”, and how many companies now recognize the power of a culture of health.  Culture of health initiatives work when they become inextricably linked with the strengths of the existing culture.  You know they are working when employees have the energy to be productive team members at work and to have a life after work.
