Series 4: Engaging and motivating teams

Episode 3: Health and wellbeing

As the global corporate wellness market is expected to reach over $90 billion in the future, it’s important to question whether popular strategies like mindfulness apps, free healthy breakfasts, yoga sessions, or mental health first aid training are actually effective in improving employee health and well-being at work.

Rather than continuing with a “parental” approach to taking care of employees’ well-being, it is crucial to change our focus and find strategies that truly make a positive impact on their health and well-being in the workplace.

What we’ll cover:

  • Typical approaches to health and wellbeing
  • What actually creates health and wellbeing at work
