The Evolve Workplace Wellbeing Podcast
This podcast is part of a toolkit of free, evidence-informed workplace wellbeing resources provided by the Workplace Wellbeing Research Team based at the University of East Anglia, UK. You can find the resources on www.evolveworkplacewellbeing.org The contents of the toolkit draw upon cutting edge multi-disciplinary research on workplace wellbeing, including insider insights and case studies. We want to give you the insight you need to take evidence-informed action, helping your business evolve and thrive. Every six weeks a member of our team will introduce you to a new piece of research and to someone whose life experience puts a human face on that same research topic.
