How Great Companies Build Their Wellbeing Strategy
Wellbeing at work is often reduced to perks: gym memberships, meditation apps, fruit bowls in the office. But the reality is that meaningful wellbeing is about much more than benefits. It's about organisational resilience, how work is designed, and whether people feel supported in a way that actually helps them perform and stay.
At the same time, we're seeing a generational shift. Early-career talent are prioritising work-life balance and mental health more openly than previous generations, and companies are trying to figure out how to meet these expectations without sacrificing performance or accountability. Meanwhile, executives are asking the hard question: what's the ROI on wellbeing?
Hanna Smith, Chief People Officer at Tillo, joins Alice on the Work in Motion podcast to explore how companies can move beyond surface-level wellbeing initiatives and build strategies that genuinely support people while strengthening the organisation. We'll discuss what organisational resilience actually means in practice, how to adapt to changing expectations from younger employees, how to measure the impact of wellbeing work, and what leaders can do tomorrow to start building a healthier culture.
This is for:
People and HR leaders looking to make wellbeing more strategic
Managers wanting to better support their teams without burning out themselves
Founders and executives trying to balance employee wellbeing with business performance
Anyone rethinking how wellbeing fits into their organisation's culture and operations
