About Haley: https://www.linkedin.com/in/haleyprophet/

While enjoying lunch, you’ll hear from Haley Prophet, Fractional Workplace Wellbeing Strategic Leader and Resilience & Thriving Facilitator. She has 20 years experience in corporate well-being and founded Haley Prophet Consulting in late 2022.

Many businesses may agree, well-being is important, but how does this really carry throughout their culture and is it embedded in their strategy. Businesses who embrace well-being as a key part of their business strategy will see increased productivity, employee retention, profitability, customer ratings and much more. Now is the time to make well-being a business imperative and strategic necessity for all workplaces. When our employees thrive, our business will thrive.
