In doing so, we help build a culture where openness, transparency, and courage can flourish, creating an environment where growth and trust are nurtured.

Organisational change and restructuring are inevitable in today’s dynamic business environment. Whether driven by shifts in market conditions, technological advancements, or strategic realignments, such changes can lead to significant disruptions within an organisation. However, these periods of upheaval also present an opportunity for leaders to reinforce their commitment to sustainable wellbeing and performance. By focusing on the wellbeing of their employees during times of change, leaders can mitigate the negative impacts of uncertainty, maintain productivity, and foster a resilient organisational culture.

Sustainable Wellbeing and Performance

In today’s rapidly evolving work environment, the intersection of sustainable wellbeing and performance has never been more critical. As leaders navigate the complexities of organisational change, mounting workloads, and the pressures of managing resources, prioritising both personal and team wellbeing is essential. At Benny Button, we understand that wellbeing and performance are not just interconnected—they are symbiotic. Our data consistently shows that employees with high levels of wellbeing are more engaged, motivated, and capable of sustained high performance. Conversely, neglecting wellbeing leads to burnout, disengagement, and a significant decline in organisational effectiveness.

That's why we're committed to helping organisations embed sustainable wellbeing and performance into their core strategies, ensuring that every employee can thrive in a healthy, supportive, and productive work environment.

Social purpose, leadership and change

I have spent most of the time in the last 25 years of my working life within the realms of social enterprise and non-profit sectors. I’ll often say that I am surrounded by extraordinary people doing extraordinary things and always within the lens of extraordinary circumstances. The sum of all these parts allows for an alignment of social purpose and with it the joy of having impact.

Leading wellbeing through COVID-19

We understand that workplaces, leaders and employees are under a great deal of stress and feeling very uncertain about what immediate steps to take as we face COVID-19 and the associated health, employment, and economical adjustments.

People are scared for their immediate health and safety. People are anxious about the future. People are confused about what choices to make and what actions to take. Leaders are people, too. 

This post is not to strike fear or amplify drama. It is to help leaders choose where to focus attention and effort. Leaders have the opportunity to navigate current complexities and come out the other side having exercised strong leadership, and having strengthened organisational resilience.
