About Kennette Thigpen

Corporations work with me to reduce costly turnover by 30-40% through evidence-based, trauma-informed workplace strategies. When work-related stress put me in the emergency room, I committed to changing the system, so employees never face an impossible choice between career success and personal wellbeing.77% of employees globally report chronic stress from unmanaged psychosocial risks, workplace factors like excessive demands, poor support, and toxic cultures. Companies lose millions annually to preventable burnout, turnover, and disengagement, what I call \"The Invisible Drain.\" Traditional EAPs and wellness programs fail because they treat symptoms, not systems.I apply rigorous clinical frameworks to workplace design, treating organizational culture as the primary intervention point. For more than 20+ years, I\'ve enabled companies to transform from reactive crisis management to proactive psychosocial risk mitigation, cutting costs while elevating performance.WHAT I OFFER: Keynote Speaking Training & Workshops Corporate Mental Health Strategy Consulting Trauma-Informed Culture TransformationRESULTS CLIENTS SEE:→ 30-40% reduction in turnover within 6 months→ Measurable improvements in psychological safety scores→ 25%+ increase in employee engagement→ Decreased stress-related absenteeismBASED IN: Raleigh, NC | Available for virtual & in-person speaking worldwideEmail for questions: d••••••••@welltrustpartners.comBook a consultation: https://kennette-thigpen.mykajabi.com/contact Follow along for inspiration & insight:Instagram:@dr_kennette_thigpenFacebook:@Dr. Kennette ThigpenLet\'s build workplaces where people thrive, not just survive.
