From the Masters of Scale Summit stage in 2022, Arianna Huffington, founder of HuffPost & Thrive Global, and Padmasree Warrior, founder of Fable and former CTO at Cisco, explore the paradox of productivity in the modern workplace. As the demands on human capital increase, so does the risk of burnout. In conversation with @RapidResponseShow host Bob Safian, Arianna and Padma share their experiences and strategies for fostering a culture of well-being, empathy, and belonging within organizations. They discuss the critical shift from viewing employee wellness as a “fuzzy benefit” to recognizing it as a core element of business success.
