Individual well being is not really going to help shift the needle unless we started to do something with teams, leadership teams, with the culture, with their job descriptions, with flexibility and also with are people really inspired and committed and motivated by the organization.

And I used to stalk Paul, Paul Miller for all his interviews and everything. But what I'm saying is that is something that gave meaning to employees. They really believed they were working at a good company.
