June 25, 2026

While it is crucial for employees to perform at their highest level in any organization, it is especially critical when it comes to national security. In this podcast episode, Dr. Jennifer Posa, former Chief Well-being Officer at the Central Intelligence Agency, offers a roadmap for building psychological strength and readiness to help employees navigate the most challenging environments.

Tune in to learn how to evolve a set of well-being programs into a company-wide strategy that emphasizes peak individual performance. By prioritizing well-being and workplace culture, and focusing on resilience, employers offer employees the tools to successfully navigate high-stress situations.

Dr. Posa also discusses the challenges presented by artificial intelligence (AI) as they relate to employee well-being. She explains that AI can feel like disruption - to employees and leaders alike - but with transparent communication and measurable assessments as part of an implementation strategy, employers build trust and improve well-being.
