Working on health works. It’s good for your people and for your bottom line. The central idea underlying our organizational work for the past decade has been that the best way to run a business is to balance short-term performance and long-term health. |

The return phase presents an opportunity for companies to rethink the employee experience in ways that respect individual differences—home lives, skills and capabilities, mindsets, personal characteristics, and other factors—while also adapting to rapidly changing circumstances.
