There are more than 160 million people who are a part of the U.S. workforce today. Work is one of the most vital parts of life, powerfully shaping our health, wealth, and well-being. At its best, work provides us the ability to support ourselves and our loved ones, and can also provide us with a sense of meaning, opportunities for growth, and a community. When people thrive at work, they are more likely to feel physically and mentally healthy overall, and to contribute positively to their workplace. This creates both a responsibility and unique opportunity for leaders to create workplace environments that support the health and well-being of workers.
