Responding to evolving market demands successfully doesn’t happen without a workforce of resilient people. It's no longer simply how well a person can perform in a structured, familiar situation, but how people react and adapt to new challenges and circumstances. Rare is the organization that operates the way it did prior to the pandemic -- and disruption is considered the new normal. As a result, employee resilience and organizational agility have replaced efficiency as the best predictors of business success over time. Building organizational resilience is the critical priority now. In this keynote, hear about the four pillars of organizational resilience -- Risk Prevention, Workforce Agility, Cultural Commitment, and Analytics & Insights -- and why data-driven primary prevention is the first priority to prepare the workforce for threats and adaptation as a foundation to workforce organizational resilience.

GuideWell’s partnership with meQuilibrium started out as a pilot, but with superior enrollment and engagement, it was expanded to include all employees. Highly successful by meQ’s measures, the program was subjected to a collaborative claims-based study, meQ’s first ever. meQ program participants were more engaged in their health, more adherent to preventative screenings, and had overall lower health care costs than other colleagues, even though they used more services. These findings motivated GuideWell to embed meQ as part of the Florida Blue benefit offerings to some specific populations. Tracy Gallo will share these and many more findings on their approach to enrollment, high levels of engagement and overall efficacy of their meQuilibrium program.

Dr. Lynch will explain why "high strain, low control" jobs in particular require resilient workers and the relationship between resilience and agility.

Former U.S. Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy, founder of The Kennedy Forum, author of the New York Times bestseller “A Common Struggle: A Personal Journey Through the Past and Future of Mental Illness and Addiction.” Now, more than ever before, resiliency is critical to mental health and well-being.

Now, increased rates of anxiety, depression, substance use, and more are red flags that need immediate attention. Addressing this serious societal issue requires education and prevention, not just treatment. That means empowering people with the skills they need to navigate life’s inevitable ups and downs and seek help when necessary. When we prioritize mental health as essential health, everyone wins.

Some of us are juggling a new work from home life, others are navigating the pandemic outside their homes, some are working right in the middle of the fight, but one thing is clear we are all battling the strain that is unavoidable in a global pandemic.

She will walk us through our current realities and provide tangible solutions to increasing psychological fitness for a healthier and happier today and in our future post-pandemic world.

The science of resilience provides key measures for organizations looking to build a sustainable workforce—by predicting challenges, preparing people, and preventing the onset or escalation of behavioral health issues. meQuilibrium is powered by data and science and uses its rich psychometric data to build insights that can identify individuals at risk for common behavioral health conditions such as anxiety and depression. We’ll take you behind the scenes to get an up-close look at how our insights can help you manage risk in your workforce.

While everyone was affected by the pandemic in some way, arguably children saw the greatest disruption. With extended periods of remote learning, changes to routines, and isolation from peers, the educational and social development of kids of all ages took a hit. The parents of “Generation C” are rightly concerned about the long-term ramifications. HR leaders share these concerns -- both due to the need to support their employees who are parents, but also as they plan for this generation to start entering the workforce in just a few years. The good news is that just like adults, children can learn skills to boost resilience, increase focusing, improve learning and reduce stress. We’ll explore deeply key concepts including Hope & Optimism, Self-control & Mindfulness, Curiosity & Perseverance, and Self-confidence. These skills will serve kids’ needs now, and serve as a foundation of healthy habits for their adult lives. Join us for this interactive workshop with Michele Borba, Ed.D., an internationally renowned educator, award-winning author, and expert recognized for her solution-based strategies to strengthen children’s and social-emotional intelligence, along with meQuilibrium’s Chief Knowledge Officer, Dr. Andrew Shatté - whose Resilience Program for Kids has been delivered to millions of children around the world. You’ll leave with practical, everyday tools that you can apply directly as a parent, but also bring into your HR programs to support employees and their families.

There’s no doubt that the last 15 months have put our resilience to the test—it pushed our boundaries, transformed our organizations and how we work, and caused us to see life from a different perspective. While many of us are eager to move on, there’s a lot that we’ve learned—about ourselves, our organizations, and about what really matters. Additionally, as we sit on the precipice of this next chapter, how do we lean into resilience—and what do we want to bring forward with us? Join us for this very special interactive workshop with meQuilibrium’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Adam Perlman and Director of Content & Board Certified Health Coach Alanna Fincke, as we look at how we’ve grown and the key lessons learned about ourselves and our organizations—and perhaps just as importantly, what we will take with us as we move forward into a post-pandemic world.
