The Advisors Network provides visitors unprecedented access to masters of their industry who can help transform any organization. For this podcast, we had the joy of hosting a panel of a few advisors with us during our semi-annual meeting. With their expertise on show, we asked them about what a talent-based organization is — from the time one commits to the journey to what the leader of the future looks like.

Wellness has been a hot topic in the human capital industry. Companies are continuously refining their efforts of creating wellness programs for their employees, and companies who don’t have a program already established, are quickly jumping on the bandwagon.

Wellness looks different for every individual, as well as every organization, but one thing that holds true is creating wellness initiatives pays off for both the employee and the company.

I have Mitch Scheuler with me today. Mitch is a Business Consultant at Talent Plus and works to grow client partnerships. He also co-leads the wellbeing team at Talent Plus, which encourages wellness awareness among colleagues with resources and activities. Today we’ll talk about wellness, fitness and how that impacts the workplace

Jason Chambers and Todd Hauser, senior business consultant and senior technology solutions consultant here at Talent Plus, discuss how small businesses can and should create a strategy around selecting and developing their people with host Tiffany Pires.
