2023 Workplace Wellbeing In Review – Were Our Predictions Right?

At the beginning of the year, we made predictions about how workplace wellbeing would transform, and we went ahead to outline some of the things we thought would happen in 2023.

Today we're going back to see if any of them came true!

In this episode, we review the year and discuss the changes that have been gone and bad for wellbeing. We also take a stab at identifying new trends that may emerge in 2024.

Here are the highlights:

(03:57) To care means to act. To care means to change.

(10:34) You can't cure culture in a one-hour webinar.

(15:03) Financial concerns and its impact on their physical and mental health

(19:20) There's a level of conflict when it comes to racial equity.

(25:10) A lot of leaders are reluctant to invest their time.

(31:16) What's going to happen next year?

(34:17) Evaluate the outcomes!

About the Podcast

The Wellbeing Rebellion

Welcome to The Wellbeing Rebellion, an award-winning podcast.

We’re Ngozi Weller and Obehi Alofoje, Directors at Aurora — a leadership and organisational effectiveness consultancy.

This podcast explores how the way organisations are led shapes performance, trust, wellbeing and culture over time.

The challenge with many approaches to wellbeing and culture is that they place responsibility on individuals to cope, rather than examining the leadership decisions, behaviours and systems that create the conditions people are working within.

This is where the conversation needs to shift.

On The Wellbeing Rebellion, we explore leadership behaviour, organisational systems and decision-making under pressure through honest conversations with senior leaders and advisors navigating real organisational complexity.

Some episodes are just us. Others bring in leaders and experts reflecting candidly on what works, what doesn’t, and what leadership requires in practice.

If you’re responsible for people, culture or organisational performance — and want to think more critically about how leadership shapes outcomes — this podcast is for you.
