The Ambiguity of Wellbeing: Rethinking Mental Health in the Workplace
In this safetyCast episode, we unpack the complex and often misunderstood concept of "wellbeing" and what it truly means for mental health in the workplace. Featuring insights from EY’s Roberto C Garcia and Samantha Thomas, this conversation explores why a strategic, clearly defined approach to mental health is essential for building healthier, more engaged organisations.
Together, we discuss how leadership, governance, and measurable initiatives can shape effective psychosocial risk management, and why it’s time to move beyond vague wellbeing programs toward real cultural impact.
Key themes:
-
Why "wellbeing" needs a clearer definition in the workplace
-
The role of measurement in evaluating mental health strategies
-
Leadership's responsibility in managing psychosocial risks
