Do We Still Care About Workplace Wellbeing?

Everywhere we go now, we hear about wellbeing. However, is this something we are actively practising or has it just become another buzz word?

People seem to have grown tired of the word wellbeing, especially senior leaders. Over time, it's started to feel confusing or overwhelming and this can slow down a company's wellbeing approach. 

So, how do we make sure we ALWAYS put wellbeing first? This episode looks at some trends that might be pushing us in the wrong direction and what we can do to change that!

Here are the highlights from this episode:

(02:22) It won't go away on the basis that people will continue to be people!

(10:40) Wellbeing is such an individual thing. 

(16:18) Culture change is at the heart of good employee mental wellbeing. 

(28:16) We are able to see through things that are not genuine. 

(31:34) The role modelling that we're doing for the younger generation is so damaging.  

(41:55) What is the cost of you doing nothing?

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.
