#21: New year, better wellbeing?
Listen now
Description
At the start of the year, many people resolve to ditch alcohol and junk food and hit the gym in a bid to get healthy – and many businesses are using this to bolster their health and wellbeing offerings for 2020. So there’s no better time for That HR Podcast to closely examine organisational wellbeing, and ask if employers are starting to look beyond token gestures. People Management’s Francis Churchill and Maggie Baska are put through their paces at Drag Diva Fit – one of London’s more unique fitness offerings – and talk to Jordan Flaste, director and fitness ringleader, to find out how working out can bolster staff wellbeing. Plus Stephen Bevan, head of HR research development for the Institute of Employment Studies (IES), and Dr Caroline Marlow, director of L&M Consulting, advise how businesses can encourage staff to be healthier in 2020. And how would you know if someone was lying to you at work? Ian Mason, a non-verbal behaviour consultant and expert in deception at work, discusses how people professionals can become the Sherlock Holmes of their organisations. Plus Tim Pointer helps a listener dealing with the awkwardness of being their line manager’s ‘reluctant favourite’.
