Despite the rise in wellness programs, many companies still miss the mark when it comes to addressing the real factors behind motivation, engagement, and happiness at work. What’s missing? In this thought-provoking episode, Sha-En Yeo, in conversation with Dolon Mitra, shares key insights into what truly drives well-being at work—and what leaders need to get right
1. Leadership’s Blind Spot: Walking the Talk on Well-Being
"Only 20% of employees believe their leaders truly prioritize well-being." - When leaders ignore employee concerns or prioritize short-term goals over people, trust erodes. Employees see through performative efforts, without real action, engagement and morale plummet.
2. What Is Our Gut Telling Us, and What Do We Need to Do About It?
"I always wanted to be a painter, but my mom said it wouldn’t make money, so I went into finance—but the creative world offers countless opportunities beyond just painting." - Many suppress their instincts out of fear or societal pressure, leading to burnout and dissatisfaction. Instead of ignoring the gut, individuals must acknowledge it, trust it, and realign with it.
3. The Communication Gap: The Root of Workplace Dysfunction
"A goal without clarity leads to confusion—or worse, inaction." - Without a clear why, how, or what, employees either misdirect efforts or disengage entirely. Leaders must ensure communication is precise, purpose-driven, and actionable to drive alignment and performance.
It’s time to move beyond surface-level well-being—tune in for a game-changing conversation on what truly makes workplaces thrive
