But if employee disengagement continues to linger, or workflow patterns are lagging, there may be more going on than meets the eye that a leader must address. Employee wellness should actually begin from the top down, with leadership teams demonstrating their commitment to improving the entire organization's culture. To encourage a positive mindset and regain trust, 20 Fast Company Executive Board members each share a strategy to promote employee wellness and reduce absenteeism on the job.

Keep your business priorities straight by focusing on the most impactful areas. Running a business is a game of competing priorities, both day-to-day and long-term. With so many areas to tend to, business owners can easily favor certain tasks over others—including those that aren't necessarily the most impactful. To help, the members of Fast Company Executive Board discuss the things business owners tend to put too much weight on and why overprioritizing these areas can limit growth. They also share their insights on what business owners should focus on instead to achieve lasting success.
