Over the past several months, the #HRforAll Twitter chat has brought the HR community together to talk through a variety of different HR topics. We’ve touched on how to practice HR during a pandemic, leadership, creating workplace communities for BIPOC, and more. This month, we’re meeting with the Psychotherapist and Workplace Wellness Champion, Farah Harris, to talk about Wellness at Work – something we all need right now.
With that said, here are the questions.
Twitter Chat Questions
- What is workplace wellness and why is it important?
- Who in the organization should own workplace wellness? Who are some of the key stakeholders?

- What makes a good wellness group?
- How do you assess need?
- What is the biggest challenge in setting these up?
- How do you increase adoption of wellness groups and programs?
- What are some good technologies to support these programs?
