The purpose of this presentation is to make a compelling business case for putting your resources behind enhancing your Workforce’s Well-Being so they can access greater levels of performance, peace, and potential. Three questions will be answered during this presentation about Workforce Well-Being: What is it, why do you need it, and how can you get it? And according to the numbers, it is highly likely that you, your team, and/or your organization would benefit greatly from the three “how to get it” steps. If you are weary from battling things like disengagement, toxic cultures, disgruntled employees, and poor performance, this presentation is for you! Participate in this presentation and leave with a fresh perspective on how to boost well-being, personally and professionally, for you and your colleagues … You’ll be happy you did, and so will those you care about!

Speaker Bio: For nearly 30 years, Eric Benson has been designing and delivering personal and professional development programs for senior leaders, mid-level managers, supervisors, and front-line team members. As a facilitator, speaker, and coach, he has seen the high performers and the low performers, the motivated and the unmotivated, as well as the happy and the unhappy.

Working with people across the spectrum of industry and position has convinced Eric that an individual’s sense of well-being foreshadows her/his performance trend, up or down. He now concentrates his efforts on providing people in the workforce with the keys to unlocking extraordinary well-being for inner peace, higher performance, and realizing their full potential. He does this at meetings, conferences, workshops, and retreats for government agencies, corporate clients, and professional associations.

Eric’s high-energy and first-rate people skills combine to engage people and create an interactive learning environment to accelerate growth and development. His commitment to converting the theoretical into the practical enables people with varying levels of education and experience to grasp the material and immediately apply it to their real-world situations.

Prior to starting The Eric Benson Team, his professional experience included four years spent with a start-up company developing its sales and marketing strategies, product mix, tracking systems, and employee training programs. Before that, he spent ten years in the U.S. Air Force, five of those years as a management engineer where he combined organizational development approaches with industrial engineering techniques to enhance both individual and organizational productivity.

Eric is a Certified Practitioner and Authorized Partner for the Everything DiSC® and The Five Behaviors® suite of applications. Eric holds a B.S. in Industrial Technology and an A.A.S. in Personnel Administration, and he has also completed coursework in Leadership and Communication through the University of Central Texas and a course in Productivity Enhancement & Measurement Techniques through the U.S. Army Management Engineering College.
