"The Science of Bite-sized Well-being During Uncertain Times: Evidence, Practice and Resources to Share"
---
This presentation of the science behind simple, brief and effective interventions to improve workforce well-being is meant to inform, comfort, and inspire.
The audience will review evidence published in top tier journals that both validates and normalizes their emotional exhaustion, and demonstrates that as much as the pandemic was associated with an increase in burnout, we now know through clinical trials that bite-sized well-being interventions can cause well-being to improve in the same magnitude. What took the pandemic 3 years to do can be undone in 10 days using these interventions. This presentation explains the science behind the interventions to improve workforce well-being, and demonstrates the prevalence and severity of well-being deficits, all while informing, comforting, and inspiring a weary workforce.
​
