Compared to those with high engagement and low
wellbeing those who are high in both are 30% less likely to miss work due to poor health.

2. Communicate a clear and consistent definition of well-being. 3. Lead by example, set the agenda, and use the bully pulpit.
4. Make sure that employees understand that leadership authentically cares about their well-being.
5. Measure and monitor the effectiveness of well-being programs.
6. Maintain a workplace culture dedicated to holistic well-being across all five key elements.
