Ep 105 - Prioritising Wellbeing in the Workplace with Claire Warner

A positive workplace improves teamwork, raises morale, increases productivity, job satisfaction and performance, and reduces stress in employees. So how can organisations start to put people first over productivity? In this episode, I speak to Claire Warner, a former charity Fundraising Director & Senior Leader, turned workplace culture and wellbeing strategist. We discuss: Claire’s story from breast cancer survivor to a workplace wellbeing advocate and consultant How to instigate cultural and organisational change to better support employee wellbeing Why leaders should focus on the cause of diminishing wellbeing, not just treat the symptoms The importance of self-awareness, education and creating psychological safety for leaders and their teams   CONNECT WITH CLAIRE Claire Warner is the Founder of Claire Warner Wellbeing and the Charity Workplace Wellbeing Summit. It was in trying to throw herself back into her beloved Fundraising Director role after 12 months' treatment for aggressive breast cancer, that Claire discovered the field of workplace wellbeing and hasn't looked back since. In 2020, Claire won the Best Digital Leader Award at the Social CEO Awards and in 2021, curated the first Charity Wellbeing Summit and was named as one of 20 Pandemic Pioneers by Charity Times. Today, Claire Warner Wellbeing exists to help charity & not-for-profit organisations and professionals to recognise and reap the benefits of prioritising personal & workplace wellbeing. The majority of the company’s work is in the areas of workplace culture and wellbeing consultancy; management skill and confidence training; and life balance coaching.
