Screw corporate wellness. Build a culture of wellness. See new episode 👇.

In this presentation excerpt, the speaker recounts a talk titled “Why Your Employees Don't Care About Your Wellness Program,” which sparked a conversation with an HR professional questioning the need for a formal wellness program. The speaker highlights that many companies track wellness-related KPIs to demonstrate cultural improvement, yet these metrics often fail to engage employees. He shares a concrete example from Shepherd, where the company’s president occasionally grants unexpected days off or long weekends, creating a powerful, informal wellness incentive. While this practice delights staff, it also creates headaches for HR, illustrating the tension between spontaneous, culture‑building actions and traditional HR processes. The overall message critiques reliance on formal wellness programs and advocates for building a genuine culture of well‑being through meaningful, employee‑centric actions.
