What makes a workplace mental health strategy truly effective and how do you measure its impact?

In this episode of Wellbeing Talk, I’m joined by Chris Cummings, CEO of Wellbeing at Work World, to explore the future of workplace wellbeing.

Since 2014, Chris and his team have been brining together senior leaders from over 113 countries across global summits and round tables, helping organisations embed wellbeing as a strategic priority.

We discuss:

* What authentic leadership for employee wellbeing looks like

* How to move beyond perks and tick-box exercises to structural change

* The most meaningful ways to measure workplace wellbeing and prove ROI

* Why culture and psychological safety are non-negotiable foundations

* The role of managers, hybrid working, AI, and ESG in shaping the future of wellbeing

If you’re a leader, HR professional, or wellbeing advocate, this conversation offers practical insights and inspiration to help you build a healthier, more resilient workplace.
