Managing Employee Workload Stress

If any of you saw Glastonbury, or were lucky enough to attend, you would have seen the outpouring of love and support towards Lewis Capaldi, as his tourettes took hold during a set and he couldn’t go on.

This is a high profile example of what millions of people struggle with every day in the workplace. Mental health can be debilitating and, without the right support, result in poor productivity or complete disengagement.

In this episode we discuss what you can do to support your employees, to lower their stress levels by creating a positive, supportive culture, and ultimately see the results in your business.

Highlights:

(02:23) Why do we have so much stress in the workplace?

(04:06) The survey says...

(10:17) Lewis Capaldi and the stress of touring

(13:42) The problem with disengagement

(18:19) How to spot a workload issue

(23:24) Supporting our leaders

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.
