Educational Intensives
Expert-Led Learning for Thriving Workplaces
Educational Intensives are quarterly virtual deep-dive sessions focused on the organizational side of workplace wellbeing. Each session explores what employers, leaders, and practitioners can do to strengthen systems, policies, and cultures that support people at work.
Led by trusted experts and grounded in evidence, Educational Intensives translate research, lived experience, and real-world practice into practical strategies participants can apply immediately. These sessions are designed for people responsible for shaping how work is designed, led, and experienced.
Educational Intensives are a core offering of the Wellbeing Think Tank community and reflect our commitment to education you can trust and learning that helps you take action in creating cultures of wellbeing at your organization.
