In this episode of the HR Insights Podcast, Stuart Elliott speaks with Amelia Wilcox, CEO of Nivati, about workplace mental health and the growing importance of creating healthier, more sustainable working environments.
As conversations around employee wellbeing continue to evolve, organisations are increasingly recognising the impact mental health, burnout, and work/life balance can have on employee engagement, productivity, and long-term organisational performance.
Founded in 2020, Nivati was created to help organisations provide employees with easier access to mental health support, stress management tools, and wellbeing resources while reducing the stigma often associated with seeking support in the workplace.
Throughout the episode, Stuart and Amelia discuss how working patterns and personal boundaries have shifted following the pandemic, alongside the growing challenges employees face balancing work responsibilities with personal wellbeing.
The conversation explores the importance of setting boundaries, recognising signs of burnout, and creating workplace cultures where employees feel comfortable discussing mental health openly without fear of judgement or stigma.
Alongside practical wellbeing advice, the discussion highlights the role leaders and organisations play in normalising conversations around mental health and encouraging employees to prioritise rest, recovery, and sustainable performance.
The episode also offers guidance for organisations looking to strengthen workplace wellbeing strategies and create healthier cultures that better support employees both personally and professionally.
