Leveraging Science to Concurrently Foster Employee Wellbeing

Venue: Room 230, Level 2, Kwong Lee Dow Building

Presenters: Dr Michelle Segar PhD, MPH

Do you want to know why most people don’t stay motivated to practice healthy behaviours (exercise, dietary change, etc.), even when they deeply want to?

In this presentation, Dr Michelle Segar presents research explaining why the traditional approach to promoting healthy behaviours sets employees and patients up for short-term rather than sustainable behaviour. Integrating behavioural science with positive organizational scholarship, she will explain how sustainable behaviour change, personal well-being, and organizational thriving can result from reframing “healthy choices” and self-care with “The Right Whys” (e.g., vitality).
Come to this presentation if you want to learn a new science and practice-based approach for motivating and maintaining healthy behaviours among individuals that can concurrently foster outcomes that organisations desire.

Dr Michelle Segar, author of No Sweat! How the Simple Science of Motivation Can Bring You a Lifetime of Fitness (AMACOM 2015), directs the University of Michigan’s Sport, Health, and Activity Research and Policy Center (SHARP) and is a Faculty Associate at the University of Michigan’s Ross Center for Positive Organizations.
