R&R Ep. 2: How the Workplace Can Invest in Rest (21 mins)
Special episode 2 of 3.
Achieving optimal wellness while working towards equity in healthcare begins with leaders actively investing in rest. Implementing sustainable practices for rest and emotional wellbeing is not limited to large-scale organizational leadership; individuals can also lead by inviting others to participate in rest to encourage renewal and prevent burnout at work.
Host Carmen D. Harris joins with Cultural Strategist Esther Boykin and Founder of Huru Imani Joy Samuels to explore techniques for weaving rest into organizational and movement work. They share how leaders and organizations are creating space for rest in their work culture and protecting their staff’s emotional wellbeing. They also discuss how tying rest and other sustainable practices to metrics and success can inspire systems change.
