Recharge, refocus, and thrive at work, all in under 13 minutes
Employee wellness isn’t just a nice-to-have anymore; it’s a business imperative. Workforces are facing more pressure than ever, from stress and burnout to information overload and financial strain.
What’s missing in many learning and development strategies is content that meets employees where they are with calm, clarity, and compassion. Organizations need solutions that are:
- Flexible (short, mobile-friendly, and easy to implement)
- Relatable (addressing real challenges with empathy and science)
- Comprehensive (covering physical, mental, emotional, and financial wellness)
These 12 brand-new wellness courses from OpenMind, an OpenSesame Exclusive publisher, are short, beautifully produced video courses to help employees reset in real time.
