What if helping your employees feel healthier could also help your business grow?

In today’s conversation, Danielle Dinkelman shares the behind-the-scenes story of how she went from a music studio owner to an expert in employee wellness coaching. She explains why traditional employee assistance programs (EAPs) often fail to get engagement and how small businesses can implement meaningful wellness initiatives that employees actually use. Danielle discusses how wellness programs bridge the gap between personal wellbeing and professional performance, the mindset leaders need to successfully introduce such programs, and why wellness is no longer just a "nice to have" — it's a business necessity.
