Making Work Better - 06 - Spark: Weaving wellbeing into culture

In this episode of Making Work Better, Denise Quinlan is joined by Sarah Stack, People & Culture Lead at Spark, NZ’s largest telco and digital services provider. Together, they unpack how Spark co-designed a culture of care with staff – embedding wellbeing, connection, and inclusion into everyday work culture. Sarah shares how listening to staff, training in-house wellbeing coaches, and leaders sharing personal stories have helped Spark reduce stigma around mental health, introduce new supports, and improve wellbeing and engagement across its 5,000-person workforce. If you’re looking to make wellbeing part of your strategy — not just your comms — this conversation is full of practical insight and inspiration.
