On August 18, Kylie Roth, Senior Director of Workplace Research at Knoll, presented “Well-being and the War for Talent,” during a panel session at the 2016 CoreNet Global ED Forum in Atlanta. Beginning with a history of the term itself, Roth discussed the growing importance of well-being and employee attraction and retention in the modern workplace alongside panelists Zoe Reich Margarites of Delos Solutions, Felicia Watts of Georgia Power, and Allyson Hajdu of Equifax. Although “wellness” originated in a rhetoric of physical health, she explained, today’s understanding of employee well-being is far more holistic, taking the mental and social aspects of work into account. The panelists continued the discussion by offering their own experiences as case studies for well-being initiatives.
