‘The cultural connection’: Episode three of IWFM’s wellbeing podcast available now

News

IWFM is keeping the workplace and facilities management conversation moving with a brand new podcast series exploring workplace wellbeing, brought to you in partnership with Sodexo. Now we bring you episode three as Chris Moriarty and expert guests discuss workplace culture’s impact on wellbeing in ‘The cultural connection’.

 

 

 

In 2019/20, work related depression or anxiety accounted for half (51%) or all work-related ill-health and 55% of all days lost due to work-related ill health. And whilst organisations, cognisant of that, have deployed workplace wellbeing programmes, how many have addressed some of the causes of that stress? Causes include:

• workload
• role uncertainty
• lack of control
• lack of support
• changes at work
• violence, threats or bullying.

Fundamentally, the culture of our organisations.

This episode explores some of those themes and speaks to experts in a range of fields about how workplace cultures need to adapt to remove some of these negative factors and instead ensure that work supports good mental health in employees.
