Workplace Trends: How to Foster Wellbeing and Retain Top Talent

This week on The Jasper Blueprint podcast we’re exploring the evolution of workplace wellbeing. I had the great pleasure of speaking with social researcher and author Ashley Fell . During our conversation we discussed how shifting employee expectations around workplace culture and leadership, are driving the need for environments that prioritise wellbeing.?

Mental health issues, the stress and pressure people are under is at an all-time high and can’t be ignored. The reality is the same increase in pressure is crushing leaders too so for many it may feel like it’s too much to take on the responsibility and weight of wellbeing in the workforce.?

When you combine this with the serious consequences to the stability and strength of our organisations if we don’t take wellbeing seriously, this is a conversation worth setting aside some time to properly digest.

You'll find the video of our full conversation here, or scroll to the bottom of the page for the audio only podcast.

Drawing on research from McCrindle, Ashley highlights how organisations can foster spaces where both leaders and employees thrive, even during challenges. The conversation covers key workplace trends, including the importance of multigenerational dynamics, creating meaningful work, and aligning business culture with both employee and consumer needs to gain a competitive edge.?

Differentiate your business by crafting an intentional workplace culture that prioritises:

• Wellbeing,
• Team connections,
• Meaningful work,
• Aligns with both employee and consumer expectations

Wellbeing in workplaces is a multifaceted concept, which encompasses our physical, mental, and social health. The research shows that there is an evolution in the role of leaders which now includes a profound understanding of wellbeing as integral to business success.

When leaders are intentional about prioritising the workplace culture within their organisation, they can successfully blend working environments for generational diversity, which enhances productivity and employee satisfaction.
