Wellbeing

Sterling Bank once again partnered with Houston Business Journal to present the fourth annual Celebrate!Enterprise, seven events during four days in May which provide educational, recognition and structured networking opportunities.  Dr. Jessica Tyler, Practice Manager, Employee Engagement and Wellbeing from Gallup Inc., the Healthcare Heroes event keynote speaker, addressed wellbeing, drawing from her colleagues' newly released book, Wellbeing: The Five Essential Elements by Tom Rath and Jim Harter. 

The five essential elements of how we think about and experience our lives are:

• Career Wellbeing - Liking what we do every day
• Social Wellbeing - Relationships and love in our lives
• Financial Wellbeing - Managing economic matters to reduce stress and increase security
• Physical Wellbeing - Good health and enough energy to do the things we need to do
• Community Wellbeing - Sense of engagement and involvement in the area where we live

While 66% of people are doing well in at least one of these areas, just 7% are thriving in all five. As our individual wellbeing improves, we positively impact the wellbeing of those around us, yet another indication that everything's connected.
