Join us for this free 75-minute interactive community discussion on Leading for Wellness: How to Create a Team Culture Where Everyone Thrives with co-authors, Patricia Grabarek and Katina Sawyer. You also do not have to have read the book to attend the session. 

A troubling trend is emerging in today’s workplace: employee morale and overall satisfaction are in sharp decline, despite companies investing more in wellness initiatives than ever before. What’s missing?

Patricia Grabarek, PhD and Katina Sawyer, PhD – industrial/organizational psychologists and co-founders of Workr Beeing – have spent decades researching employee well-being. Their findings show that many organizations misunderstand wellness—it’s not a program or a box to check. True wellness stems from leaders who improve everyday conditions that directly impact employee satisfaction and performance.

In Leading for Wellness: How to Create a Team Culture Where Everyone Thrives, Dr. Grabarek and Dr. Sawyer provide a science-backed blueprint for fostering healthier, more productive work environments. Drawing from two comprehensive studies and numerous real-life examples, they outline actionable steps for leaders to become “Generators”—those who cultivate genuine connections, create a positive team culture, and help employees achieve their work and life goals.

Their leadership strategies may seem simple—such as sharing personal struggles, honoring work-life boundaries, and prioritizing relationship-building—but the results are transformative. These methods boost not only employee well-being but also drive engagement and productivity.

At a time when low morale threatens both performance and retention, Leading for Wellness offers business leaders a clear, data-driven path forward.
