The topic of the Fall 2019 Cornell Institute for Healthy Futures Roundtable is “Workplace Well-being.” Workplace Well-being relates to all aspects of working life, from the quality and safety of the physical environment, to how workers feel about their work, their working environment, the climate at work and work organization.

Presenters and attendees will bring together diverse disciplines including academe; the design, healthcare, and hospitality industries, and the non-profit sector. The first half of the day will focus on current and innovative research about Workplace Well-being, focusing on how stress and workplace anxiety can impact workers’ performance and overall health, followed by presentations on best practices from well-known organizations that promote health and well-being in their work environment. After lunch, we will focus on the opportunities and challenges for innovating and embracing change, as well as methods to help introduce these best practices to your own organizations.
