Health and wellbeing of employees has a direct correlation to organizational performance. It is essential that organizations and successful leaders prioritize the health and wellbeing of all employees -from the C-suite to entry level positions. As rates of stress, chronic illness, and unhealthy lifestyle choices continue to increase, it is imperative that organizations discover strategies that cultivate employee wellbeing. Employees with high wellbeing are more engaged, productive, and energized and directly affect a company's bottom line; it is in the best interest of employers to invest in human capital and wellbeing of employees. Health and wellness coaching demonstrates encouraging potential as a catalyst to optimize employee wellbeing. Rooted in science-based research with the foundation in relationships, communication, and connection, health coaches partner with employees as they build selfawareness around a holistic view of health. As employees increase self-awareness, they recognize the importance of managing stress and self-care, connect to their vision and values, take active steps towards change, and address barriers and obstacles. With these strategies, individuals build resilience as they gain energy, empowerment, and work towards positive growth. This paper outlines the challenges that leaders and employees are facing, describes health and wellness coaching, and provides a group coaching case study example that demonstrates how health and wellness coaching can foster employee wellbeing. This case study is important as it supports evidence that health coaching shows promise as a strategy to optimize employee health and wellbeing.
