RHR 155: A Cure for the Common Company with Dr. Richard Safeer

Send us a text Research indicates less than 3% of Americans are sufficiently active, eat a healthy diet, maintain a healthy weight and abstain from smoking. A key factor in the ability to achieve one’s health goals is whether those goals are supported by the people they’re closest to—at home and at work. Generally, organizational employee wellness programs are only partially successful because they expect the individual to bear the full responsibility of changing their behavior rather than in conjunction with a supportive environment.  For the past 20 years, workplace health pioneer and thought leader Richard Safeer, M.D. has assessed cultures, trained leaders, and conducted research on the intersection of individual and organizational behavior. He currently serves as the Chief Medical Director of Employee Health and Well-Being for Johns Hopkins Medicine. He is a regular conference speaker on building a culture of health and well-being and has published numerous journal articles on the topic.  His full bio is below.   In his upcoming, groundbreaking book available on January 19, 2023, titled, A Cure for the Common Company: A Well-Being Prescription for a Happier, Healthier, and More Resilient Workforce (Wiley),Dr. Safeer becomes the first author to provide a step-by-step roadmap for creating a well-being culture that integrates science with practical solutions as demonstrated by the numerous real stories from successful companies.
