AWS's Prudence Pitter on Normalizing the Conversation Around Employee Well-Being

Release Date:

Normalizing the conversation around employee well-being is one positive outcome that came out of the pandemic. Businesses now understand the role they have in supporting employee well-being and the bottom line cost of ignoring this area. In this episode of Get Reworked, AWS global head of HR Prudence Pitter discusses what AWS is doing to support employee well-being.  Listen: Get Reworked Full Episode List "A leader who can share, 'I had this deliverable that I missed, because I got to this location, my luggage was not there. It caused a whole ripple effect where I was not able to be productive for two days. And so this is how I bounce back.' It's important for leaders to share some of the personal things that they're OK with sharing that help others recognize that it's normal, not only some of the ways that professionally they have fallen, if you will, but also importantly, how they bounce back. What are the ways that they redeem themselves. And I think that's a very powerful story to tell," said Prudence. Highlights of the conversation include:  Why it's important to build accountability around well-being initiatives. Why well-being accounts for the whole person, both in and out of work. How well-being initiatives will not go anywhere if they ignore the ways the workplace is impacting well-being. Why leaders need to model the behavior they're promoting. How to normalize the conversation around well-being to remove any lingering stigma. Plus, hosts Siobhan Fagan and Nidhi Madhavan talk with Prudence about identifying where to focus well-being efforts, why some leaders may need coaching to have difficult conversations, and if discussing well-being without following through does more harm than good. Listen in for more.
