I can be really engaged at work, which is what employee engagement programs are about. But engagement can also result in burnout. And I'm really engaged at work can also result in me so over investing that in other parts of my life I'm struggling. And so when we look at flourishing, we should need to look at the whole human. We need to look at how they're engaging at work, how things are at home for them, and really think about supporting them holistically so that they can live, work and lead at their fullest potential.
