11. Wellbeing with Vix Anderton

In episode 11 of the Reworked podcast, Rachael talks to
Vix Anderton, a wellbeing specialist and co-founder
of The Practical Balance.


The importance of wellbeing in the modern workplace cannot be
underestimated. It has been estimated that 12.5 million working
days were lost in 2016-17 due to work-related stress, depression
or anxiety. But for many companies, approaches to dealing with
the problem have only come in the form of short-sighted,
box-ticking exercises.


So how can businesses make the structural and cultural changes
necessary to entrench wellbeing as a core company principle? What
can be done to reduce the pressure and expectation on employees?
And what are the obstacles getting in the way, and how can we
best move past them?


Vix answers these questions and many more as she talks to Rachael
about the benefits that can follow when a company takes practical
steps to incorporate wellbeing into its DNA. She also offers some
invaluable tips on the steps we can all take to focus more on our
own wellbeing in everyday life.
