Are you happy at work? And if so, do you think that helps you do the job better? Jan-Emmanuel de Neve, Professor of Economics and Behavioural Science at the University of Oxford's Saïd Business School thinks so - and says he has the real-world evidence - from companies and millions of employees to prove it. He also says there is evidence that companies with a happy workforce will perform better for shareholders. And he answers the question - does that mean working from home is best, or should we all go back to the office?

This episode marks the first in a new Ashurst series on Employment and Safety law developments in Australia. After collaborating on a landmark psychosocial risk court case, Ashurst partner Scarlet Reid and State Chambers barrister Bruce Hodgkinson AM SC reflect on what employers might learn. Along the way, Scarlet and Bruce discusses the threshold for psychosocial harm and whether stress meets that test, the complexities of what constitutes “reasonable management action” and the importance of regularly updating employer policies. They also emphasise the value of training and instruction for line managers so that they can handle sensitive discussions in a way that is legally compliant, psychologically safe, and appropriate. “There’s so much learning to come in this area,” Scarlet adds. “Guidance from courts will be very important as this area of the law continues to develop.” To listen to this and subscribe to future episodes in this series search for “Ashurst Legal Outlook” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or your favourite podcast player.

On the launch day of their new book, ‘Why Workplace Wellbeing Matters', Prof Jan-Emmanuel De Neve and Dr George Ward join host, Sarah Cunningham, to explore the key research behind the book, and discuss why wellbeing matters for every workplace. Going beyond the argument that looking after the wellbeing of employees is a moral imperative for any organisation, Jan and George reveal why an investment in improving employee wellbeing is also the savvy approach for business success. From improved productivity to increased talent attraction and retention, and even stronger financial and stock market performance, work wellbeing – their evidence shows – is no longer a nice-to-have, but rather a business imperative. In addition to being the co-founder of the World Wellbeing Movement, Prof De Neve is Director of the Wellbeing Research Centre at the University of Oxford, where Dr Ward is a Research Fellow. The two leading wellbeing science experts first met at University College London in 2011, where Jan supervised George's Master's thesis exploring the relationship between economic growth and happiness. Since then, they have developed a strong research partnership, published multiple high-end academic papers, and now this ground-breaking book, which is a must-read for all business leaders. Explore the most compelling findings from nearly 15 years of research together and uncover why prioritising workplace wellbeing isn't just the right thing to do, but the smart thing to do. If you're trying to convince your Chief Financial Officer that investing in employee wellbeing is a business imperative, then this episode is a must-listen, and Jan and George's new book is a must-buy!

A concerning trend has emerged in Irish workplaces: one in five workers are struggling with illegal substance use, according to the latest laya healthcare Workplace Wellbeing Index. Launched today at Croke Park, Dublin, this comprehensive annual report, now in its fifth year, provides crucial insights into the evolving landscape of employee wellbeing in Ireland. Business leaders are invited to attend a free virtual summit on November 12th, featuring expert speakers Dr. Sumi Dunne, Brian Pennie, and Brendan Courtney, to delve deeper into these critical issues. The 2024 Index reveals that 16% of employees are addicted to or have an unhealthy relationship with Class A or illicit drugs. Overall, two in five Irish workers report addiction to or an unhealthy relationship with at least one substance, with nicotine (29%) and alcohol (21%) being the most prevalent. The data shows that men, those aged 24 and under, and those with a disability or health condition are more likely to struggle with addiction. Concerningly, senior managers are also more likely to report unhealthy relationships with substances compared to those in more junior roles. Beyond substance use, the Index highlights the growing prevalence of other addictions impacting the workplace. Almost a third of workers (33%) admit to an unhealthy relationship with social media, while 30% report the same about work itself. One in five respondents identify similar struggles with pornography or sex, mirroring the figure (19%) for gambling addiction. Sinéad Proos, Head of Health & Wellbeing at Laya Healthcare, commented on the findings: "Employers should recognise addiction as a serious issue impacting Irish workplaces, encompassing substance use, gambling, and social media. While these results are concerning, they also present a valuable opportunity for employers to prioritise employee wellbeing. By fostering a supportive culture and providing access to resources like counselling and employee assistance programs, we can support and empower employees to make the first steps towards improving their health and wellbeing." Health Conditions, Disabilities, and Disclosure in the Workplace The Index also sheds light on the prevalence of health conditions and disabilities among Irish workers. A significant one in two employees report living with an underlying health condition or mental wellbeing issue. Anxiety and depression are the most commonly cited conditions, with one in ten Irish employees having a diagnosis of depression. Concerningly, the data reveals a disconnect between employees and their organizations regarding these issues. 54% of those with a health condition or disability admit they would be embarrassed to speak to their employer about it, while one in two with a mental health condition fear being treated differently if they disclose it to their employer. Furthermore, nearly half of all employees (48%) are unaware of the support resources available to them. The Index highlights the disparity in diagnosis rates between physical and mental health conditions. People with physical conditions are more likely to have a formal diagnosis than those with mental health or communication difficulties. For example, while most people with a visual or hearing impairment have been diagnosed, the rates are significantly lower for anxiety and speech and language problems. Sinéad Proos emphasized the need for improved communication: "Employers and employees need to communicate more openly about health conditions and disabilities. Not having a diagnosis or feeling unable to discuss needed support can cause unnecessary stress and hardship for team members. It's crucial that organisations prioritise clear communication about health and wellbeing resources, making them easily accessible so employees can get the support they deserve." Neurodiversity in the Workplace The Index also explored the topic of neurodiversity, with 15% of employees reporting that they live with a neurodiverse condition....

Send us a textIn his second appearance on Happy at Work, Andrew Soren explores the complex relationship between meaningful work and well-being. Drawing from recent research, he reveals surprising findings about how highly meaningful work can sometimes lead to decreased well-being, and discusses practical ways to balance purpose with personal sustainability.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why meaningful work doesn't always correlate with increased well-being, particularly in highly purpose-driven professionsThe six different motivations people have for finding work meaningful, according to researcher Michael PrattHow diversity in work motivations can strengthen teams and organizationsWhy an ecosystem approach (individual, team, organization, society) is necessary to address burnout in meaningful workThe importance of regular check-ins about how work aligns with personal meaning and purposeQuotable Moments: "Half of everything that's been written about meaningful work has been published basically in the last year... The amount of people writing and thinking about this topic is just doubling basically every single year.""If we go to them and are just like, 'hey guys, you just need to develop some more self-compassion here... you need to build your resilience skills'... there is nothing that will result in more moral outrage than kind of saying like, 'just take another meditation class.'"Practical Takeaway: Consider implementing regular check-ins with team members about how their work aligns with their sources of meaning, whether that's utility, status, passion, service, kinship, or mastery. Remember that these motivations can change over time and that having diverse motivations within a team can create stronger organizational dynamics.Resources Mentioned:"The Call of the Wild" study by Bunderson and Thompson (2009) about zookeepers - linkMichael Pratt's research on meaningful work motivations - linkCarol Riff's model of psychological well-being - linkConnect With Our Guest:Connect with Andrew Soren on LinkedInEudaimonic by DesignMeaningful Work MattersListen to Andrew's first appearance on Happy at Work here!To stay connected and continue the conversation, be sure to follow us on LinkedIn.

What does a wellbeing-focused work environment really look like, and how involved should employers be to ensure their workforce can live healthy working lives? Should all employers pay the recently uprated Living Wage, and how can you support your people if paying the voluntary Real Living Wage is simply unaffordable? Finally, are your colleagues working as much as they appear, or are they showing classic signs of ‘fauxductivity'? CIPD's People and Transformation Director Amanda Arrowsmith discusses these questions and more with David Blackburn, Managing Director of David R. Blackburn Consulting, and Elizabeth Harvey, Head of HR at HSBC. Recorded 25 October 2024

Toni & Lesley are joined by Sarah Churchman OBE a global leader in DEI and Workplace Wellbeing, with over 20 years of experience driving innovative, data-driven solutions that align diversity initiatives with business success, mostly for PwC where she spent 37 years in total. Sarah is known for her pioneering work in de-biasing HR processes and fostering inclusive environments where diversity thrives. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone has biases. The lack of diversity at the top demonstrates that there is a lack of equality in the workplace. Inequality outside of work plays a significant role in inequality at work. If you take on the bulk of domestic chores, and child and elder care duties, you don´t have as much time and energy left for work. Plan for what you want to do in your career. You don´t have to be liked to do well, you have to be respected. Get yourself seen - network with those above you and people outside of your firm. To get to the top you need a sponsor. Be authentic and do work that you enjoy. BEST MOMENTS “None of us are as inclusive as we think we are. “ “It takes certain people to sit above the parapet to get things done. “ “My husband would say I am stubborn. I say I am persistent. “ THE GUEST Sarah Churchman is a pioneering global DEI and Workplace Wellbeing leader with over 20 years of experience in professional services. She takes a data-driven and innovative approach to developing solutions that align DEI and Wellbeing initiatives with business goals. Sarah is a trusted coach to senior leaders, known for her ability to guide them through challenging changes. Her groundbreaking work in de-biasing HR processes, particularly in Talent Acquisition, has been foundational in making organizations like PwC more diverse.

Terrible twos, temper tantrums, and grocery store meltdowns are usually the first things that come to mind when people think of toddlers. But pediatric emergency medicine physician and researcher Dr. Hasan Merali has long thought toddlers are among the best people in our society and adults could do well to learn from them. These extraordinary youngsters can be impulsive, yes, but with this comes a remarkable ability to take risks and ask questions—two qualities that can help us enjoy life more. Toddlers act kindly toward strangers, are eager to work with others to solve problems, and demonstrate extraordinary dedication and perseverance. These are all traits that many of us aspire to have. In his new book, Sleep Well, Take Risks, Squish the Peas, Dr. Merali shows us the many ways in which acting like a toddler can help us improve both our personal and professional lives.Hasan Merali, MD, MPH, is an associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics, McMaster University and a pediatric emergency medicine physician at McMaster Children's Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario. He received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School and Master of Public Health degree from Johns Hopkins University. His research focuses on child injury prevention in low- and middle-income countries. He has published more than twenty-five peer-reviewed journal articles, and his work has been featured in The New York Times, BBC, Science, Medium, The Boston Globe, NBC, CBC, and Popular Science.To learn more, visit:https://caffestrategies.com/To learn more about Hasan, visit:https://hasanmerali.com/,https://www.linkedin.com/in/hasan-merali/,https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/15/well/live/tips-happiness-mental-health-well-being.html,https://www.greatplacetowork.com/resources/blog/5-workplace-well-being-lessons-from-toddlers,https://medium.com/authority-magazine/author-hasan-meral-five-things-business-leaders-can-do-to-create-a-fantastic-work-culture-784ba24b415eListen to more episodes on Mission Matters:https://missionmatters.com/author/genein-letford/

The Whole You: Work, Home Life host Joe Serio and Forbes Senior Writer and behavioral scientist Tanya Tarr continue their dynamic conversation about the how and why of personal well-being.  Together they delve into the intriguing concept of a "House of Well-Being" and a "Workplace of Well-Being." This transformative discussion will leave you inspired to redesign your life for success.   Here are just a few of the mind-opening lessons learned that can truly reshape the way we approach our health and work environment. 1. The concept of your "house of well-being" encourages exploring the different rooms of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health for a well-rounded life journey. 2. Simplify your well-being check-ins by focusing on 3-4 key areas instead of overwhelming yourself with endless objectives – it's all about keeping it nimble. 3. Pay attention to the rooms you neglect in your well-being house; they often hold the keys to unlocking your true balance. 4. Community connections are essential for emotional and cultural health - find your 'church energy' in unexpected places like kickboxing clubs or adult kickball leagues. 5. By breaking down your environments into different spaces, such as bedroom, office, or car environments, you can effectively pinpoint areas that need immediate attention and those that can wait. 6. The power of intentional transitions lies in helping your nervous system and overall well-being find a sense of closure and rejuvenation. 7. Approach your workplace of well-being with the same mindfulness as your house of well-being; navigating office dynamics, policies, and relationships play a vital role in your overall wellness journey. Why Listen:  If you're feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life, seeking ways to enhance your overall well-being, or looking to foster a healthier work environment, this episode is a must-listen. Joe and Tanya's practical advice, deep insights, and relatable anecdotes will inspire you to make small, impactful changes that lead to significant transformations in your physical, mental, emotional, and cultural health. Tune in for actionable strategies, expert tips, and a fresh perspective on living your best life, both at home and in the workplace.

What is the missing piece to your happiness at work? Is it work-life balance? Flexibility? Autonomy? A bigger paycheck? The truth is actually much deeper. It's your patterns and belief systems that are really preventing you from finding work that aligns with your values.    And the specific things that will bolster your well-being are unique to you, so you have to dig deep to learn what they truly are.  Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment Ⓡ, Blake welcomes Kelly Mackin. She is the author of Work Life Well-Lived: The Motives Met Pathway to No-B.S. Well-Being at Work and co-founder and CEO of the Motives Met Platform and Human Needs Assessment which empowers people to create their best work life and workplace.  In this episode, you'll learn why the well-being movement is on the rise, and how these values are transforming corporate culture. You'll learn as a leader how to recognize the individual needs of your team to improve employee retention and boost employee motivation.    What You'll Learn: The flawed belief system we inherit (4:41) Learning from the patterns in your work and personal life (12:07) Potential dream killers to watch out for (13:32) The importance of psychological safety at work (23:08) Re-evaluating your needs as life changes (37:46)   Favorite Quotes: “Work can actually be this source of well-being in people's lives. It can lift us up and make our lives so much better, even if it's just simply and profoundly that it allows us to live the life we want to live outside of our jobs. And it can also be the thing that destroys us.” –Kelly Mackin “We spend around a third of our lives at work. So at the end of the day, work life is life. If you have ill-being at work, you're not gonna be able to have well-being in your overall life.” –Kelly Mackin “As parents, we're so focused on our children. But if we focused more on our own well-being, we would be far better examples to our children to live their best lives.” –Blake “Whatever pattern you're seeing in your work is also a pattern that you're seeing in your personal life. And if you are putting things into a silo, you're really not seeing the lessons that life is teaching you that are really there to help move you forward.” –Blake   Connect with Kelly Mackin: Website: www.motivesmet.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-mackin-52793110/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellymackin_motivesmet/?hl=en   Additional Resources:  For programs and opportunities to work with Blake, go to www.BlakeSchofield.com

He discusses the concept of servant leadership and how it prioritizes the needs of individuals over the organization.

He explains the SOAR model of strategic planning, which focuses on strengths, opportunities, aspirations, and results. Throughout the conversation, Lindsay emphasizes the significance of psychological capital and positive mindsets in effective leadership. Key Takeaways: Servant leadership prioritizes the needs of individuals over the organization, creating workplaces where people are energized and inspired. The five priorities of leadership are purpose, people, pace, perception, and profit. When these priorities are aligned, organizations thrive. The SOAR model of strategic planning focuses on strengths, opportunities, aspirations, and results, fostering collaboration and positive dialogue. Psychological capital, including hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism, plays a crucial role in effective leadership and positive outcomes in the workplace. Developing a clear vision, setting challenging goals, and achieving them are essential for building confidence and increasing efficacy. Notable Quotes: "The whole point of leadership is to align the strengths of the organization so well that the weaknesses become irrelevant." - Peter Drucker "Hope is when I can see the end goal that I'm trying to achieve and I can also see the pathway towards it." - Lindsay Tsang "Confidence is my belief in my abilities to make a positive outcome when I put effort into something." - Lindsay Tsang
