Creating a culture of care: Why leaders must champion employee wellbeing
Show Notes

"Leaders have a responsibility for the wellbeing of their employees from day one."

Does your organisation sound like this? Because it should. 

On the latest episode of 'the mentl space' we step back a little in time to a vital conversation captured at the Wellbeing at Work Summit Middle East in Dubai. 

We sit down with Suzanne Gandy, Director of Human Resources at Bayut | dubizzle to dive into McKinsey research on employee wellbeing (or not) which top-level found that two-thirds of workers across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar are struggling with their mental health.

And, in a conversation which is a must for C-suites, we explore the leadership responsibility, the return on investment in safeguarding mental health, and the lessons her time in the UK Army taught.
