Danielle Dinkelman shares her journey into corporate wellness, shaped by personal injury and witnessing her husband's burnout. She emphasizes that effective wellness programs require shared responsibility between employers and employees, focusing on five key areas: rest, fuel, play, connection, and purpose. Success depends on authentic leadership commitment rather than incentive-driven programs.

TAKEAWAYS

• Rest is productive, not a distraction — leaders must recognize that sustainable performance requires intentional recovery time.
• High-impact wellness coaching achieves 20-40% utilization — far exceeding traditional programs when integrated authentically into company culture.
• Burnout prevention requires policy alignment — review employee handbooks through the lens of rest, fuel, play, connection, and purpose.
