We hear about the harsh realities facing the veterinary profession and how a human, low-cost approach has really been making a positive difference to their wellbeing. We talk about suicide, perfectionism, goal setting, saying ‘No’ and the unintended consequences of focusing on wellbeing at work. We discuss the compelling reasons for having a holistic wellbeing strategy and the correlation between an organisation’s clarity and values and levels of employee wellness.


It’s an episode jam-packed full of great conversation and, as ever, our guests share some superb insights and practical advice on managing health holistically at work both from an employer and employee perspective.
