Supporting employee wellbeing has become integral to the success of organisations. This week our CEO and Host, Stuart Elliott speaks to VP of UK and Ireland for Gympass, Luke Bullen to discuss how Gympass adapted as a company post covid, how to help employees dealing with burnout as well as how organisations can measure employee wellbeing. 

Today’s episode sees Stuart and Luke discuss how Gympass pivoted from only offering physical wellbeing packages to now having all wellbeing offerings in one place. Another topic discussed is the rise in employee burnout and how companies can prevent this by measuring employee wellbeing and using strategies to promote positive mental health and eradicate burnout. They also touch on how to foster an inclusive working environment and how leaders can act as role models by prioritising their own wellbeing.
