From Burned-Out Employee to Deloitte's 1st Chief Well-Being Officer with Jen Fisher

Jen Fisher is Deloitte’s first-ever Chief Well-Being Officer, but she used to be a burnt-out employee.

After suffering from anxiety, losing sleep and being perpetually stressed-out, Fisher made the case to her higher-ups how a Chief Well-Being Officer could benefit the company, and they gave her the job.

In her book, WORK BETTER TOGETHER: How to Cultivate Strong Relationships to Maximize Well-Being and Boost Bottom Lines (McGraw-Hill, June 29, 2021), Deloitte’s Chief Well-Being Officer, Jen Fisher and researcher Anh Phillips explore how to build meaningful relationships that improve everyone’s experience on the job.

The authors explain how our increasing dependence on technology is decreasing our connection to people. They discuss why human skills, like relationship-building, empathy, and emotional intelligence, are essential to the future of work, and how trends like remote work and our ‘always on’ culture are increasing isolation and burnout as well as negatively impacting workers’ happiness and engagement.
