The Prouty Project

Why is Everybody Talking About Wellbeing?

by Kristin Jonason

 

At the Prouty Project, we pride ourselves on helping leaders stretch beyond their limits, using our strategic planning process to ignite their vision. We co-create with you to unlock the true potential of your organization, people, and culture.

 
High-performance cultures are created when leaders invest in their people and create an environment where employees are engaged and feel safe and supported to bring their whole selves to work. This requires a focus on wellbeing. Wellbeing is not only focused on our emotional, physical, intellectual, and social wellness, but it also considers a person’s overall satisfaction, happiness, and fulfillment. When teams are showing up at their best, performance and results skyrocket.
 
The most effective, thoughtful, and strategic plans will fail without a strong team to execute them. We can have the most brilliant product or service, the finest of facilities, and state-of-the-art technology and still miss the mark if our people are struggling. And current national trends show our people are truly struggling.
 
Gartner’s most recent study of human resource professionals (mostly CHROs) showed a powerful combination of challenges: most CEOs are focused on growth and change AND the current pace and frequency of change is causing intense fatigue and strain on our teams.
 
Couple this with skilled staffing shortages, declining employee engagement, and high rates of turnover, burnout, and mental health challenges and it’s clear employee wellbeing needs to be a priority. Leaders at every level must demonstrate greater empathy and emotional intelligence, build resilience, foster positive relationships, and lead with purpose to engage teams and drive performance.

When organizations invest in and focus on wellbeing and helping teams learn, grow, and thrive; they outperform their peers in almost every business metric. Additionally, their teams experience 57% increased collaboration, 50% more productivity, and 70% less stress*. They get all of this AND they achieve a happier, more positive, and engaged culture where people feel cared for. Now is the time to help our people build these skills.

Prouty Project’s wellbeing practice leader, Kristin Jonason and our Founder, Jeff Prouty are passionate believers in wellbeing. Not only did we go through the BetterYet® Teams program to impact our team and culture, but we also partner with Positive Foundry® to provide our clients a sustainable and science-backed system to create a culture of wellbeing that leads to a thriving workforce and higher performance.
 
BetterYet® Teams is a comprehensive micro-learning program that teaches whole-person skills critical for human flourishing. It is easy to implement, requires just 30 minutes per week to learn and connect deeply with your team, and it works well for in-person, remote, or even hybrid teams! The Prouty Project team is excited to offer this program to our clients.

BetterYet® Teams is founded on the principles of positive psychology and neuroscience. All skills and strategies are backed by scientific research and delivered in short video lessons with supporting practices. Facilitated by your internal team members certified by Prouty Project in advance, BetterYet® Teams helps foster trust and open dialogue through shared learning experiences. Practicing the skills together not only strengthens relationships but also further reinforces positive behaviors and embeds them in your organization’s culture.
 
Imagine a culture where your people are developing and strengthening mindsets and learning skills of resilience, optimism, and emotional intelligence, all while feeling like their company cares about them.
