The Hidden ROI of Workplace Wellbeing (an Interview with Jan-Emmanuel De Neve)

If people really are our greatest asset, why is wellbeing still treated like a perk instead of a priority? 

In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green explores this very question with Jan-Emmanuel De Neve, Professor of Economics and Director of the Wellbeing Research Centre at University of Oxford, co-editor of the World Happiness Report, and co-author of Why Workplace Wellbeing Matters. 

Tune in as Jan shares eye-opening insights from a massive global dataset of over 25 million workers, revealing why employee wellbeing is a business-critical priority. 

You’ll hear: 

• The real drivers of happiness at work (and why most companies get it wrong) 

• How employee wellbeing directly impacts performance, retention and recruitment 

• The role of AI in shaping the future of meaningful, human-centered work 

This is a must-listen for HR and business leaders ready to shift from wellbeing-as-an-initiative to wellbeing-as-a-strategy.
