Health and Work

If health underpins great work, why do so many workplaces treat it like a perk? Paul and Matt examine the gap between surface-level wellness offerings and real employee needs—then share how to shift toward readiness and resilience without overhauling everything.

Five Key Learnings:
• Lived experience (burnout, caregiving, fatigue) doesn’t match company messaging.
• Health is still treated as “individual responsibility,” not a team design issue.
• Small moves like RMS (Rest, Movement, Socializing) beat flashy programs.
• Teams can change norms—leaders just have to start modeling them.
• Expect the shift: from “treat it when it breaks” to “design for health.”
