A guide to authentic leadership: Supporting employee wellbeing
‘The pandemic was an urgent wake-up call,’ says Kate Sullivan, Global Head of Services and Talent at British Council Corporate English Solutions.
‘In the early days, many employees felt their organisations didn’t care about their wellbeing. Organisations responded by dedicating extra resources to support their physical, mental, and emotional health.’
Fast forward to today, and wellbeing is still a top priority – rightly so. In Gallup’s recent global workplace study , only 24% of employees strongly agree that their organisation cares about their overall wellbeing. This is a significant drop from the 49% reported in 2020.
