Supporting Retention by Prioritizing Employee Wellbeing

Thursday, March 27, 2025, 11 a.m.-12 p.m. CT

Attracting the right talent is the first step toward business success. To maintain competitiveness and sustainability, companies must make a concerted effort to retain their high-performing and high-potential employees.

In this first of a four-part Talent Retention webinar series, human resources development expert and Texas A&M Professor Dr. Jia Wang will explore how retention and efforts to promote employee wellbeing are connected. Specifically, she will discuss the dimensions of wellbeing — physical health, mental state, work relationships, job satisfaction, financial security, and a sense of purpose — that directly affect an employee’s overall experience at work. Dr. Wang will also share research-based employee wellbeing support strategies that will boost employee morale and commitment at work.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND AND KEY QUESTIONS
This webinar will benefit multiple stakeholders, not just human resources professionals. In fact, if you are responsible for managing and developing employees other than yourself, this webinar will benefit you.

Key questions this webinar will answer include:

• What is employee wellbeing?
• Why is it important to invest in employee wellbeing in the workplace?
• What strategies can be used to effectively promote employee wellbeing?
• How is your company doing in promoting the wellbeing of your employees?
