How we help
You know the value of having a healthy and thriving workplace environment.
You're aware that now, more than ever, the line between work and home is increasingly blurry, and that many on your team (even you) are feeling the impacts of stress on a very real level.
You know that the “new normal” still doesn’t feel so normal for everyone.
You know all of this. And yet, you still aren’t really sure where to start.
Don’t worry – that’s where we come in.
Your trusted partner in workplace well-being.
At YMCA WorkWell, we look to science and insights to drive a clearer understanding of workplace health and well-being.
While there are many community insights and trends to inform our work – including our own annual Insights to Impact Community Well-Being and Loneliness Epidemic Special Issue Reports – what sets us apart is our tailored approach to your team.
Our focus is on helping you establish a clear and accurate understanding of where your team is thriving, the most impactful barriers and stressors they’re experiencing.
Most importantly, we take these insights and break them down into small, concrete, actionable steps that you and your leaders can start taking today to improve workplace well-being. Then, we walk with you and your team as you start to put these insights into action. We care about our clients and their teams, and so we prioritize helping managers and leaders capture small, but meaningful wins and accelerate impact.
So why choose YMCA WorkWell?
Because, just like you and your team are great at what you do, we’re great at what we do. We love helping leaders get the most accurate understanding of what their employees actually need in real time – so that they can target solutions that will have the greatest impact.
We dig deep into the data to give leaders concise, targeted takeaways about their team’s culture, well-being, and engagement.
Our goal isn’t to focus only on your team’s weaknesses, and leave you feeling vulnerable, but also to leverage your team’s strengths and help you and your team thrive.
Actionable Employee Insights
Remember those really long surveys that were designed to measure “employee engagement,” took several weeks to process, and returned with a mountain of data to sift through?
There’s a better way.
Our survey is evidence-based, takes less than five minutes to complete, and you get your insights as quickly as two weeks after the survey closes.
To help put your insights to action, we walk you through the key contributors that will move your organization beyond basic employee engagement, and build workplaces where individuals and teams thrive
Unlocking Clarity
No two workplaces are the same. So why would there be a one-sized-fits-all approach to workplace culture and well-being?
We know your workplace is unique and that’s what’s sets our Insights Assessment apart. This is your chance to dig deep and get a clearer understanding of your unique workplace culture.
By completing an Insights Assessment with us, you’ll get:
- Our 20-question Employee Insights Survey – a targeted pulse assessment to evaluate drivers of organizational health

- Report consultations with leadership team to deliver findings and recommendations

Managing the Transition: Future of Work
Establishing Healthier Norms
Is bureaucracy taking over at work? Do you find that you get to the end of a day full of meetings, only to start doing your actual work once “office hours” are over? It’s not healthy for you or your team. As we continue to navigate towards a post-pandemic new normal, it’s important that leaders and managers help their teams establish healthier workplace norms.
Communicating Effectively
Over the past year, business communication has faced a unique barrier: the screen. Sure, we’ve relied on emails and team messaging apps for years; however, we’re now hosting remote meetings more than ever before. So, what’s getting lost in translation?Learn how to communicate across any channel more effectively in this workshop.
