A Life Sciences SVP and His Leadership Team Rediscover Well-Being

Case Study

Background

During the height of the pandemic, a Senior Vice President in the life sciences industry found himself grappling with a significant drop in well-being. The isolation and uncertainty of the early pandemic period took a toll, not only on his own mental and physical health, but also among his leadership team. Recognizing the impact, he sought to regain balance and foster a healthier, more resilient work environment for himself and his team

Approach

Eric conducted a customized well-being assessment to set a baseline and track progress, then developed, using evidence-based advice from credible sources, “A Well-Being Guide for Leaders,” focused on the needs uncovered in the assessment results. The engagement included a mix of group sessions and one-on-one coaching to increase well-being. Group sessions offered a safe space for sharing and learning, focusing on practical topics like boundary setting, delegation, and healthy habits.  A visual dashboard helped the team track their progress and maintain accountability.

Results

The SVP and his team gained:

  • A 22% improvement in overall well-being of the team members within six months
  • Significant improvements in self-selected aspects of well-being for individual participants
  • Enhanced camaraderie and trust among the team
  • An accountability system for making steady changes 
  • Development of specific skills and habits that continued to benefit them long after the program ended
