So there’s one management trend that everyone seems to be jumping on board with. In fact, studies have shown that 92% of companies with more than 200 employees offer an employee wellness program. This isn’t just to say they’re helping their employees. (That’s just one positive effect.) They’re using these programs strategically for talent management.

As of yet, there’s not a concrete definition of a wellness program. It can be what the company makes of it. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), though, has broken out their statistics into different styles of employee wellness. What SHRM found suggests that a vast majority of management teams are adopting wellness as a business strategy.

Tributes to the work of Prince continue to appear, more than a week after the legendary songwriter and performer passed away at age 57.

A recent story showcased Prince's strengths in the realms of creativity and talent development--and revealed how his passion for music was the key to his prolific career. Here are five highlights: 

1. Prince had a work ethic born of passion. Even after he was a famous and rich superstar, Prince's work ethic never waned. "He'd come to rehearsal, work us, go work his band, then he'd go to his studio all night and record," is what James "Jimmy Jam" Harris, Prince's high school classmate and producer, tells EW. "Then the next night he'd come to rehearsal with a tape in his hand and he'd say, 'This is what I did last night.' And it'd be something like '1999,' and you're just like, 'Who does this?'"

2. Prince was a molder of young talent--a superboss. His proteges included Scottish singer Sheena Easton, dancer Carmen Electra, and his former drummer, Sheila E. "He loved working with women and helping them and encouraging them and saying, 'Hey, I think this would be a good song for you,'" Sheila E. tells EW. Like Miles Davis and other "superboss" artists, Prince prided himself on being the foundation of a talent tree, and watching his branches find their own paths.
