Series 2: The how to getting employee experience right.Sheila Lord, Director of BMR Health and Wellbeing, joins me in this episode to explore the ISO 45003 and how it can benefit employee experience.

It helps companies build a positive working environment that can help improve organisational resilience, and enhance experience, motivation and performance. It has become essential in a world where the lines between work and home are blurred; it is no longer an optional extra but a right for employees.We unpick the ISO 45003 as an approach to use as a positive process for informing and enabling change. Included in our discussion is:Adopting a holistic approach to planning for positive workplace wellbeing and employee experienceWhat the guidance coversCompany engagement with the ISO standardCommon psychological risks in the workplaceDebunking language and considering which terms are useful or a hinderanceOperationalising wellbeingSheila is a great person to speak to for more support getting to know and using the ISO 45003.
