Description

Employee burnout, disengagement, and declining creativity directly impact productivity and performance. In this Business Power Lunch, Amy Phillips explores how intentional time outdoors can be a practical, research-backed tool to improve employee well-being, strengthen collaboration, and support more resilient, high-performing teams.

Drawing from her work as DuPage County Programs Director for The Conservation Foundation, Amy translates current health and workplace research into actionable strategies businesses can realistically apply without major cost or disruption. Attendees will also learn how the DuPage Nature Rx Coalition helps organizations connect wellness, engagement, and community impact through nature-based solutions.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• How nature-based strategies can reduce stress, burnout, and absenteeism
• Why outdoor experiences improve focus, creativity, and team collaboration
• Simple, low-cost ways businesses can integrate nature into workplace wellness and culture
• How Nature Rx partnerships can support employee engagement and community impact

This session is ideal for business owners, managers, HR professionals, and team leaders looking for practical tools to support employee performance, retention, and workplace culture.

Lunch will be provided.
