Self Care and Wellness
NAAAP’s Self Care and Wellness officially launched in June 2020. Pilot programs titled De-Stress not Distress, Wellness for Women in NAAAP, Long-Term Financial Literacy, and Self Compassion during Covid-19 have received accolades when delivered in-person or virtually, to NAAAP chapters and corporate sponsors.
​
The research is clear: Organizations who invest in workplace mental health/wellness are finding a yield of four times the ROI and can increase productivity, improve employee retention, and support diversity and inclusion. Workplace research indicates mental health and wellness is becoming an integral part of the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) movement. NAAAP is a strategic partner in this DEI initiative by pioneering a national program: Self Care & Wellness Presented by NAAAP.
Our mission is to provide a comprehensive, multi-dimensional program founded on cultural competence to promote self-care and wellness for professionals.
Focus​
​
NAAAP will address three dimensions of wellness:
​
Emotional Wellness
Physical Wellness
Financial Wellness
​
Occupational & Social Wellness support all three dimensions.
Employee Resource Group Symposium
The ERG Summit is a stand-alone, one-day, multi-company conference that provides practical leadership training and best practices to individuals responsible for starting, developing, or sustaining Employee Resource Groups and Business Resource Groups.
A keynote speech, panels, workshops, and additional coaching maximize learning and interaction between ERG leaders – ideally leaders in multiple companies and for various ERGs This ERG Summit is a major feature of the Leadership Convention, but can be brought to a chapter or corporate sponsor, and can be tailored to up to 160 persons.
