The workplace is changing. As organizations strive for productivity, innovation, and sustainability, one role is quietly transforming the future of work—the Chief Well-Being Officer (CWBO).
But what does a CWBO actually do in a typical day? And why are more companies recognizing this role as essential to long-term success?
This article offers an inside look at a day in the life of a Chief Well-Being Officer, showcasing how ERGO HIPPO supports CWBOs and HR teams to drive measurable, meaningful change across every level of an organization.
