S1E4: Europe's Happiness Crunch
Marion Devine, Principal Researcher Human Capital, Europe sits down with Sara Murray to explores the findings of a recent survey on well-being, run in both Europe and the US. One of the significant takeaways from the survey was that employees expect their employers to invest in their well-being - but it’s not translating into happier employees.
The conversation also highlights the crucial role of the CHRO in building the business case for well-being, and the need for collaboration across the organization to embed it into strategy and culture. -
