This Program goes beyond a focus on wellbeing and engagement. Backed by science, measurement, and fundamentally transformative actions, executives will design a blueprint for enhancing their organizational flourishing, with the goal of boosting productivity, igniting innovation, and delivering sustainable growth.

The Blueprint Program will be delivered by renowned experts from around the globe, including researchers from Harvard and Baylor Universities, strategic alignment practitioners from Australia, and WFO leadership. The first cohort includes senior leaders from a wide range of industries, locations, and roles.

“Our goal is to guide executives to chart the course for their organization’s flourishing journey, creating a place where Monday mornings energize employees instead of draining them, where the best people stay, and the best prospects want in.” said Eleanor Allen, CEO of the WFO

This 6-month program draws upon research, tools and frameworks and combines expert insights, peer learning, and practical application to ensure executives leave with actionable strategies. A key benefit for participants will be developing a strong peer network through collaborative problem solving, group learning and experience sharing.

Why Flourishing? Why Now? Flourishing is a multi-dimensional state of human strength, encompassing happiness, health, meaning, character, relationships, and financial stability. It bridges what matters to people with what drives organizational success.

Flourishing is a Strategic Business Asset. According to Wellhub, 82% of CEOs surveyed reported a positive return on investment (ROI) from flourishing programs. CEOs see flourishing as a business imperative because it directly impacts their bottom line through higher productivity, lower turnover, and reduced healthcare costs.

“Flourishing helps unlock potential and performance. It’s not feel-good fluff, it’s serious business, with science-backed strategies that drive measurable change.”— Gordon Watson, Chair, WFO

This program supports Executives to understand the science of human flourishing, advance what it means for people to flourish at work and lead by example to inspire the global movement towards flourishing, to help elevate the lives of 1 billion people by 2035.

“Our goal is to make flourishing practical, measurable, and scalable–so every organization can unlock the full potential of their people and achieve peak performance,” said Eleanor Allen, CEO of the WFO.

In 16 years of Gallup’s global study, engagement has never dropped twice — until now. In 2024, it fell from 23% to 21%, costing an estimated $438 billion in lost productivity. Europe and MENA remain lowest at 13% and 14%. Business as usual won’t fix it; a new standard built on flourishing is needed.

Key Initiatives Announced:

• F-Org™ Trustmark – Global recognition for organizations designing the best journeys for their people.
• Flourishing at Work Index – A rapid 14-question diagnostic adapted from the global research to assess workplace flourishing.
• Flourishing Bootcamp – A six-week online leadership program.
• Flourishing Blueprint – A six-month transformation program to elevate human potential.

WFO also supports the rollout of Harvard’s 12-question flourishing measure, offering personal reports for employees and organizational insights. Participating organizations are recognized as Rising F-Orgs™.

“Flourishing is serious business. It’s an asset on your balance sheet. It warrants focus and attention from the board and management committees.” said Gordon Watson, Chair of the WFO.
