Wellness Reimagined: Leigh-Ann Ing on integrating Well-Being Into High-Pressure Industries
Description
In this episode of the Vita Talks Podcast, Gianna is joined by Leigh-Ann Ing, the head of wellness at Gowling WLG, a Canadian law firm with over 1,500 legal professionals. Leigh-Ann discusses the firm's evolving wellness strategy, which centers compassion and self-kindness. These values are often overlooked in the high-pressure environment of the legal industry, which instead often prioritizes performance and perfectionism.
Leigh-Ann shares how she developed this strategy, a process that included conducting active listening exercises to understand employee perspectives on wellness. She emphasizes how important it is to remain flexible and able to adapt a wellness strategy when needed. Also critical is leadership buy-in, which can be achieved by demonstrating the value of investing in wellness. Leigh-Ann describes how she and her team are working on implementing quarterly or semi-annual data dashboards to measure progress.
Ultimately, Leigh-Ann explains, integrating well-being into all aspects of the organization is crucial for success.
