Welcome to the Wellbeing Designers Podcast!
We discover how we can design the future of well being together so we can create human-centric organizations and a sustainable work life.
In the first season of the podcast, I talked with the first generation of wellbeing leaders in big organizations. Usually, they were the very first ones in their organization ever to have the title of head of well being or similar.
In the second season, starting with episode nine, you will meet similar people again. And I invited some other interesting profiles as well. All these people work on wellbeing on a systemic level. Their mission is related to make the world a better place through focusing on wellbeing. In the past years, especially since COVID, employee well being got on the top of the agenda, not only for companies worldwide, but even some countries and other official institutions started to call for action.
In the Wellbeing Designers podcast-conversations, I would like to highlight the work of those sometimes invisible people, leaders, who are either in charge of well being in organizations and trying to navigate amongst the growing amount of well being offerings while connecting efforts. to business impact, and most importantly, create real value for employees. Or, they are those leaders who are doing their best to create international forums to exchange, raise awareness, and take action on wellbeing and people's sustainability.
They might be the ones whose responsibility is to take care of hundreds, thousands, or ten thousands of people's wellbeing.
They might be the ones who keep decision makers and CEOs engaged about the topic of well being. They might be the ones. who are proving that employee well being is a strategic enabler of sustainable performance and business success.
They might be the connectors between well being leaders across companies and countries.
I call these people wellbeing designers.
Enjoy listening to them and learning from them. Together we can design a human centric work life and the future of well being.
