Welcome to our wellbeing issue, where we highlight organisations and individuals who are working hard to ensure their teams are being as well looked after as they should be. And that leaders are looking after themselves too.
Wellbeing at work might, at first glance, be seen as something employees and their leaders have under control. Both employees and employers are usually well versed in what ensures a safe, happy and productive work environment.
But as one of our contributors notes in this digital issue while awareness has grown significantly – awareness and action are two different things, and in a tough economy that gap can widen. Worker wellbeing can be the first thing dropped, at a time when workers are carrying more with perhaps leaner teams, heavier workloads, job insecurity and cost-of-living stresses.
We hope you will find practical and inspiring wellbeing ideas here that you can implement in your own businesses and across your personal leadership journey.
