2025 Conference: Amplifying our Vision of Well-Being
Leaders from around the world will gather in Ann Arbor on May 15-16, 2025, to amplify our vision of well-being as an essential consideration for today’s organizations. As global business confronts urgent issues such as climate change, economic inequality, and social instability, our collective understanding of well-being is evolving to reveal its role at the very center of organizational excellence and success. Those charged with care for the well-being of others are reaching beyond traditional health or benefits-oriented measures and programs, with a growing vision of a holistic view of well-being that encompasses work-life integration, communities that are welcoming, fosters deeper human connection, and expands on our views of the role of organizations in elevating society’s mental, emotional, physical, and social health.
Participants will have an opportunity to meet thought leaders, develop actionable insights grounded in the best science and evidence, and engage in a deeper exploration of critical topics such as mental health and resilience, strategies for promoting work-life balance, the cultivation of organizational cultures of well-being, and innovative approaches to whole-system thriving. People will leave with new ideas and new inspiration to amplify their vision of well-being and its role in their organization’s strategic success.
