Starting with the lessons learned from how the best companies adapted to the Covid pandemic, The Whole-Person Workplace will help you develop ways to support your employees with the full range of their work-life challenges.

Specifically, Behson will help you think about flexibility, work-from home, parental leave, child-care, elder-care, wellness programs, educational benefits, vacation time, support for volunteerism, compensation & benefits, employee onboarding, and workplace culture in new ways. Behson provides vivid examples from a wide range of employers and provides actionable advice that will help you develop custom-fit solutions for your business and employees.
