Wellbeing Designers

Welcome to the Wellbeing Designers Podcast! We discover how we can design the future of well being together so we can create human-centric organizations and a sustainable work life. In the first season of the podcast, I talked with the first generation of wellbeing leaders in big organizations.

In the second season, starting with episode nine, you will meet similar people again. And I invited some other interesting profiles as well. All these people work on wellbeing on a systemic level. Their mission is related to make the world a better place through focusing on wellbeing. In the past years, especially since COVID, employee well being got on the top of the agenda, not only for companies worldwide, but even some countries and other official institutions started to call for action. In the Wellbeing Designers podcast-conversations, I would like to highlight the work

  Tina Steck : Designing Wellbeing as Global Head of Employee Wellbeing at Unilever| Episode 19

  Dec 3, 202444 minS3

  <p>🎠 "My purpose statement comes from my favourite children's book, which is about a girl that wants to become a knight. But of course, because she's a girl, that's impossible. Only boys can become knights. So she dresses up as a boy. She goes to the king's court. She works many years to become, in the end, the first female knight and ultimately a legend. So my purpose statement is to be a knight. For me, this means staying true to yourself, serving a greater good, and enabling others to find their own true selves."</p><p>🚀 Exciting News!  </p><p>🎙️️️...
