Dr. Steele supports a triple bottom line approach, where Profit, People and Planet are equally important. Organizations are depended on healthy, engaged and energized employees to take care of business. When employees experience high levels of stress due to daily demands, performance levels drop. Disengagement, absenteeism and health care costs increase which can be detrimental to the bottom line. High levels of stress, unhealthy lifestyles chronic disease, addictions and poor work-life balance have a direct impact on the whole organization. On the other hand, healthy, energized and engaged employees are assets to any organization which makes the investment in their well-being worthwhile.
