Welcome to the wellbeing rebellion. My name is
Unknown:
00:00:08
Ian Ghazi Wella, and I'm a corporate wellbeing and
Unknown:
00:00:11
productivity consultant.
Unknown:
00:00:13
And my name is Becky Alec Bojay, a psychologist and behavioural
Unknown:
00:00:17
trim specialist.
Unknown:
00:00:20
We are the founders of Aurora, a corporate culture consultancy
Unknown:
00:00:24
that specialises in creating psychologically safe workplaces
Unknown:
00:00:29
that enable employees to thrive. For us. Wellbeing is personal. I
Unknown:
00:00:38
came from a corporate management background 15 years in oil and
Unknown:
00:00:42
gas, I had it all going for me, the career, the family, the
Unknown:
00:00:47
white picket fence, the whole shebang. Until it all came
Unknown:
00:00:51
crashing down spectacularly. I burnt out in a blaze of glory,
Unknown:
00:00:56
and ended up being signed off work for a year with work
Unknown:
00:01:01
related stress, anxiety, and depression. This was a
Unknown:
00:01:04
catastrophic blow, not just for me, my family and friends, but
Unknown:
00:01:09
also for the team that I left in the lurch of work. I was working
Unknown:
00:01:13
for the world's largest oil company, and I still crashed and
Unknown:
00:01:17
burned. I had access to a comprehensive EAP on site
Unknown:
00:01:21
occupational health, and one amazing boss, but it wasn't
Unknown:
00:01:25
enough. You see, the problem with employee wellbeing support
Unknown:
00:01:29
in most workplaces is that it puts the onus on the person
Unknown:
00:01:33
struggling to seek help. And when you are unwell, that is
Unknown:
00:01:38
just too big a burden to bear. It's not enough to say that your
Unknown:
00:01:43
door is always open. If you expect your employees to walk
Unknown:
00:01:47
through it unaided. We need to get better at supporting our
Unknown:
00:01:52
employees. And that is precisely what this podcast is designed to
Unknown:
00:01:56
help you do. Workplace wellbeing needs a new approach. The
Unknown:
00:02:01
rebellion is here, and it is long overdue.
Unknown:
00:02:04
So this podcast is specifically for the HR or business leader
Unknown:
00:02:10
who wants to implement robbing track intake and actually make a
Unknown:
00:02:14
difference to their employees. And the bottom line is we want
Unknown:
00:02:18
to create psychologically safe workplaces where employees are
Unknown:
00:02:21
empowered to bring their whole selves to work. We want to
Unknown:
00:02:25
create a culture that is inclusive, supportive, and
Unknown:
00:02:28
encourages everyone from shopfloor to boardroom to play
Unknown:
00:02:32
their part.
Unknown:
00:02:33
On the wellbeing rebellion podcast, we'll give you weekly
Unknown:
00:02:36
up to date, insights, strategies and tips that cover leadership
Unknown:
00:02:40
capability, executive burnout, mental health, equity, diversity
Unknown:
00:02:45
and inclusion and employee challenges such as retention,
Unknown:
00:02:49
productivity and emotional resilience. Sometimes, it'll be
Unknown:
00:02:53
just us. Others we'll interview relevant industry leaders and
Unknown:
00:02:57
experts and we may even host a q&a from time to time if you
Unknown:
00:03:02
behave yourselves. You can find us wherever you usually get your
Unknown:
00:03:06
podcast fixed, whether that be Apple Spotify, and we'll leave
Unknown:
00:03:10
that up to you. Be sure to subscribe. The wellbeing
