Join Alliant International University for a presentation focusing on a holistic perspective on health and well-being based on science and practice and look at research around the “nine variables of wellness” through an occupational lens.  For over two years, the world has been in a state of uncertainty, caused by a global pandemic, war, divisiveness and climate change – just to name a few factors. We are now at a critical juncture as we figure how to live and adjust to living with the uncertainty of what lies in the future. It is all the more important that we look at mental, physical and social well-being in a holistic way – including in the workplace. In order to cultivate a true culture of well-being, we must go beyond "drink water, exercise, sleep" interventions. For example, research indicates that you can spend an hour every day at the gym but if you then sit in front of the computer for another 6-8 hours, the exercise benefits are negated.
