What Inspired the Work:Healthy Podcast
The main source of inspiration for our podcast series was our upcoming book, Make Work Healthy, which is published by WILEY and is available now. The book aims to provide leaders with a roadmap for building high-performing, resilient workplaces that will draw top talent and engage employees.
Organisations struggle to find and keep talented employees while ensuring that the workplace and workforce function to their full potential. In the wake of the epidemic, leaders are now unsure of the best ways to organise and deliver work that is in line with the needs of a new generation of employees.
We believe that extreme devotion to workforce health will be the secret to success. The book offers different approaches to employee health and wellbeing that are evidence-based and data-driven, equipping readers with the resources, methodology, and knowledge needed to collect, comprehend, and benchmark the data required for them to adopt a strategic approach to ensuring workplace health.
Using a ‘Salutogenic’ approach and a holistic definition, we aim to release an inspirational book that offers many examples of workplace practices to deliver proven steps to success.
