Claire Wilkinson - Wellbeing at Work Spotlight on AECOM: Why DEIB and Wellbeing Should be Integrated, Not Segregated

This week, I’m joined by Claire Wilkinson, a HR professional with over 15 years of experience. Claire is Wellbeing Lead for Europe and India at AECOM, a notable infrastructure consulting firm.

Recently, many organisations seem to be using the same strategic direction on employee well-being, but is this really the right approach?

In this episode, we discuss how to use an integrated approach to make well-being holistic. Claire also proves that regardless of the size of a company, all organisations can provide tailor-made wellbeing support that makes employees feel seen, heard, and valued!

Here are the highlights from this episode:

(06:49) It’s not just employees' responsibility to make change.

(10:12) Ask twice!

(21:26) Wellbeing is not a HR issue to solve.

(26:32) It’s all about cultural change.

(33:32) What's that hook that you can get them to understand why this needs to be a business issue ?

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.
