There are now more than 165 HealthyCultureNow episodes. This podcast features sample episodes from the seven series that are now available. The episodes teach skills for creating a culture of well-being at work and at home. HealthyCultureNow gives voice to the largely untold story of how culture–for better and for worse– greatly influences our efforts to achieve healthier lives. Each episode shares strategies for shifting the culture toward supporting our individual and collective potential. The episodes were developed for three audiences: (1) employees and other individual VIPs, (2) leaders including all levels of management, and (3) human resources and well-being professionals.
Having a well-being story is a powerful household culture-building strategy. Households are often formed around shared experiences. Examples include overcoming challenges related to work, health and prejudices. The narrative includes the characters and plot. The benefits of well-being could be recognized in this story. The plot could also include healthy activities.
This episode is about aligning norms and traditions are aligned with housemates’ lifestyle goals. A first step is to examine existing norms and determine how they support or undermine well-being. The healthy behaviors that you desire should become “the way we do things around here.” They should become the norm. It is also important that long-standing traditions be modified so that they better support well-being.
