Conference preview: Aflac’s Sarah Plaster on well-being success stories and more
The head of internal comms for the insurance giant discusses big wins, big surprises and new challenges.
Wellness pros and communicators alike have become experienced at a whole new group of skills over the last year and a half as they take on new well-being initiatives and a whole new definition of workplace wellness. They’re helping to map returning to the workplace and vaccine and mask policies, and much more. Workplace Wellness Insider periodically posts video interviews with those on the front lines. In this episode, we catch up with Sarah Plaster, Director of Organizational Communications at Aflac.
