In the dynamic landscape of modern work culture, few topics garner as much attention as workplace wellbeing. From its significance in nurturing a positive organisational climate to its potential to shape individual experiences, wellbeing has become a focal point for leaders and employees alike. In the debut episode of the Cult of Monday podcast, titled "Workplace Wellbeing: Fad or Gamechanger?" we embark on a journey to unravel the complexities of this critical subject.
Defining Workplace Wellbeing
In episode 1 of the Cult of Monday podcast, we delve into various dimensions of wellbeing, drawing from models such as Gallup’s wellbeing framework. Our guest speaker Amanda Celbrian defines workplace wellbeing as “a balance of all aspects of working life; management, physical and psychological safety, workload, support from leaders, support from colleagues, moments when workers are healthy, satisfied and engaged.”
By gaining a deeper understanding of the multifaceted nature of wellbeing, we lay the groundwork for meaningful insights and actionable strategies.
Navigating the Landscape: From Skepticism to Empowerment
In today's fast-paced world, it's not uncommon to encounter skepticism surrounding wellbeing initiatives. We address this phenomenon head-on, unpacking the emerging backlash and distinguishing genuine efforts from mere "well washing." Through candid discussions and real-world examples, we shed light on the importance of prioritising wellbeing and its transformative potential within organisations.
