Episode 15 - Sean Peterson's Tips for Team Building: Promoting Wellness

 About this Episode

In this week’s episode, Spirit Consulting speaks with Sean Peterson, Interim Director of Talent Strategies and Sourcing and Brand Engagement Manager at BJC Healthcare. Peterson discusses motivating employees through a commitment to their wellness, an intentional effort to build trusting relationships, and a focus on employee growth.

Peterson worked in an HR role initially—recruiting and talent acquisition. While he enjoyed the sales part of the role, he missed the human connection in HR and talent acquisition. He found that human connection at BJC, and now he is the Sourcing and Brand Engagement Manager for Talent Strategies at BJC.

Peterson speaks about promoting wellness in the workplace by ensuring the wellness of the employees and then focusing on adjustment—both in terms of employee engagement and work. He emphasizes the onboarding process so employees understand the work environment and expectations. He also emphasizes making sure the employee feels valued and engaged in the culture.

Peterson emphasizes the importance of building strong relationships with employees and prioritizing their wellness to ensure that they feel valued and respected. He also reaffirms these values in employee retention, bringing up the importance of recognition, intentionality, managing virtual space, and focusing on personal and professional growth, all while building trust. All of the above play a part in promoting employee wellness.

Peterson’s commitment and respect shine through in his leadership. With years of experience in his field, Peterson now shares his wisdom on the Tips for Team Building Podcast.
