"There is a mismatch between what C suite executives think employee well-being is versus how they're supporting it, or what employees are saying when it comes to their well-being. On the one hand, C suite executives think they're doing a great job of employee well-being, but employees are not saying that same thing." – Aoife O'Brien.
