When we summon the courage to speak up, particularly about the things that truly matter, we take a stand—not just for ourselves, but for others as well. 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.
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.

Two litres of water before 2pm each day can help optimise hydration, boosting performance and productivity at work.
