July 9, 2025 – Today’s workplaces face a productivity crisis. Only 21% of employees are engaged, burnout rates are at an all-time high, and there’s massive value left on the table – to the tune of up to $9.6 trillion globally, or 9% of GDP, according to Gallup. In response, the World Flourishing Organization (WFO) has launched their flagship Executive Flourishing Blueprint Program, guiding leaders to build flourishing organizations.
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.
