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.

A leader giving her energy a green boost!

I have a confession to make. Up until recently, the only blended drinks that would catch my attention were in a pretty cocktail glass with some kind of fancy garnish…. I’m talking Porn Star Martini, Cosmopolitan, you get where I’m coming from.

Then I met Benny Button.

I was hosting the Harcourts property management conference day in Victoria and Benny Button was our special guest. Their session was all about wellbeing and mental health, and Benny Button's Dr. Adrian Medhurst and Troy Mansell were sharing their health and fitness regime. When they got to the part about nutrition, I was keen to hear what secret formula they would impart that we could take away and implement into our daily lives. They were full of energy and vitality – I wanted what they were having!
