According to Harvard’s recent publication, where they reference Gartner's research with the same findings - Wellbeing is one of the top 10 trends for businesses in 2022

Yet both publications highlight that even though leaders and HR departments are trying their best, neither existing offers in the marketplace, nor the existing offers made by companies for their staff, are engaging employees. In reality, take up is slim 

So, if we know Wellbeing is so important that even companies are now starting to have it as a key metric - the enlightened ones anyway - why are we missing the mark when it comes to actually offering things that can help? If Wellbeing solutions are so needed, why are they not being taken up, when they are offered?

For a lot of us, the idea of having our Wellbeing ‘measured’ via an App - with the stats visible to the board alongside revenue and profit targets, or that the new key performance indicator when bumping into board members in the corridors, being the width a...

From finance directors of large corporations to the owner of your local artisanal bakery - everyone is now in agreement that wellbeing is impo...

Just before Christmas I met a guy at a party in Brighton

A super smart MD of a sizeable company headquartered in the city of London. We soon got on to the hot topic of employee Wellbeing. "The thing is," he said, "today we all need tools to navigate the chaos in our world - at work and at home. I have even got 4 super talented employees on suicide watch. I have advice from not only my own HR department, but also brilliant external psychologists and consultants, yet nothing, no MBA out there - prepares you for that," he said, with tears in his eyes – yup, MD’s have feelings of overwhelm too…
