Second edition of It. Are you well?

Inspired thinking from thought leaders

Dr. Halbert Dunn, one of the first to use the word “wellness”, defined it as “a direction in progress toward an ever-higher potential of functioning.”

However decades of study and observation have revealed that meaningful, sustainable wellness is a complex confluence of physical, mental, environmental and sociological factors, influenced by how, where and why we do things.

Progressive organisations have long understood that investment in the wellbeing of their people - through improvements in workplace, environment and culture - can greatly increase productivity, retention, happiness and profit.

In this edition of It. we asked Australian thought leaders about the value of wellness, strategies to improve it, and why it’s no longer an optional extra on the journey of professional and personal progress.
