Jumpstart your wellness program.

Let's face it. Workplace wellness is confusing. New theories come out every day. Jarring statistics and competing trends make it impossible to know which step to take. With a keen understanding of human behavior and what actually works, Laura delivers thought‑provoking keynote speeches that will get employees out of their seats and on their way to better health. Laura addresses hundreds of leaders, managers and employees around the world. Her unique style of speaking combines relevant statistics, case studies and scientific research with meaningful stories and a good dose of humor.
"Laura Putnam gave a superb opening address at Workforce Strategy 2017. Our audience of Fortune 500 companies found her compelling, engaging and inspiring. A dynamic and professional on-stage presence, Laura communicates by showing more than telling; her use of images, powerful data points, examples and stories enhances impact, as evidenced by numerous references to her content throughout the rest of the conference."

Workplace Wellness That Works

Start a Movement
A healthier, happier workforce is good for people, good for the bottom line and essential for building a winning team. Yet, while most employees have access to wellness, do these programs actually work? Evidence suggests that most do not. Over 80% of eligible employees opt out and rates of stress and poor health continue to soar. It doesn’t have to be this way. Learn about the steps every employer can take to truly make a difference. Come away inspired to start a movement of well-being in your organization.

Multipliers of Well-Being

What the best team leaders do differently
Most leaders continue to view wellness as being outside of their scope, disconnected from the bottom line, and something to be addressed by HR. But, the research repeatedly suggests that the extent to which employees are well largely comes down to leaders - especially managers. This talk outlines the critical role that every team leader plays in embedding wellness into the fabric of business as usual, and the specific steps that each can take to become a Multiplier of Well-Being.

Born to Move, Told to Sit

How to future-proof our world by getting in motion
​As human beings, we are designed to move. Motion is good for our bodies & good for our brains. The problem is, our society literally mandates us to sit. Learn about the “biological-cultural mismatch” we've collectively created (born to move, told to sit), why getting active is more than just getting a workout and how you can infuse movement into your daily work routine, even when there’s “no time.” After hearing this inspiring talk, you’ll rethink the next time you ask someone to “Have a seat!”
