## Resource

Former CIA Chief Wellbeing Officer Jennifer Posa discussed why workforce wellbeing is a strategic driver of mission success. She drew on her experience building the CIA's first agency-wide wellbeing strategy to explain why leaders should focus on creating "readiness," not just resilience, to help employees perform in high-pressure, unpredictable environments. She outlined the four pillars of readiness, purpose, security, strength and culture, and shared practical strategies organizations can use to improve performance, strengthen leadership and build healthier, more resilient teams in an era of constant change.
