Transforming Workplace Wellbeing with Dr Tom Hammond
Manage episode 433703558 series 3532825
In this episode of The Balanced Leader podcast, I got the chance to interview my colleague Dr. Tom Hammond, a clinical and sports psychologist with extensive experience in organisational wellbeing. Tom shares insights from his journey, which began with working with Olympic athletes and transitioned into consulting for organisations on performance and wellbeing strategies. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes the importance of taking a holistic approach to organisational wellbeing, rather than just focusing on individual resilience.
The discussion covers various aspects of workplace wellbeing, including psychological safety, the challenges of remote work, and the role of leadership in fostering a culture of wellbeing. Tom highlights common mistakes organisations make when implementing wellbeing programs and offers advice on how to avoid them. He also discusses future trends in organisational wellbeing, emphasising the growing importance of mental health and psychological safety in the workplace. This episode provides valuable insights for leaders looking to enhance their organisation's wellbeing strategies and who want to create a more productive and supportive work environment.
