    Flourishing Edge Podcast with Ashish Kothari

    Research backed leadership practices to build high performance cultures and improve workplace wellbeing and employee engagement.

    Every week, Ashish Kothari sits down with the researchers, executives and practitioners doing the most rigorous work on improving workplace wellbeing and turns what they have learned into something you can implement right away.

    Not wellness perks. Not engagement surveys nobody acts on. The specific behaviors, systems and daily habits that separate organizations where people burn out from those where they thrive.

    Conversations range across rewiring habits, building resilience, sustaining energy, cultivating purpose and leading with greater humanity, and how individuals, teams and organizations create the conditions for people and performance to thrive together.

    Recent guests include Barbara Jeffrey on workplace wellbeing, Zeynep Ton on the Good Jobs System, Zach Mercurio on why mattering drives retention, and Dr. Kristin Neff on self-compassion.

    Every episode gives you something you can use on Monday. How to build high performing teams. How to lead culture change that holds. Why managers shape employee motivation and employee experience more than any program ever will.

    Made for business leaders, HR and people teams who own organizational culture and get measured on what it produces.

    Ashish spent 17 years at McKinsey watching brilliant, exhausted leaders burn out and leaders prioritizing higher profits at the cost of their people. He wrote Hardwired for Happiness and founded Happiness Squad to fix it. He created the Organizational Human Potential Index, along with the REWIRE and PEARL models behind programs run at Google, PepsiCo, Danone and MUFG.

    This podcast is where that work happens out loud. 180+ episodes and counting.

    Improving Wellbeing at Work Dr. Samata Vasisht Mar 05, 2024
    Show notes

    A lot of people feel stressed and burnt out at work these days. Even though companies try to help with things like health apps or gym memberships, these efforts often don't really solve the problem. That is because these solutions only focus on the individual and ignore bigger issues like the work environment, how teams work together, and whether the job itself is satisfying and meaningful.

    In this episode of the HAPPINESS SQUAD Podcast, Ashish Kothari and Dr. Samata Vasisht, Founder of Synergy Holistic, talk about how to improve wellbeing at work.

    Dr. Samata Vasisht, transitioning from a seasoned physician to a holistic well-being expert and transformational coach, offers a rare fusion of spiritual wisdom and scientific insight. Her global journey, spanning from the US to the UK, Dubai, and India, has equipped her with diverse experiences and profound knowledge.

    She has left a significant mark on top-tier companies like Unilever, Microsoft, and Shell. Dr. Vasisht stands as an inspiring guide for those seeking to master the challenges of today's workplace with resilience, purpose, and a profound understanding of well-being.

    The conversation highlights a crucial gap in many well-being programs: the failure to address broader issues such as the work environment, team dynamics, and the meaningfulness of the job itself.

    Ashish and Dr. Samata highlight the importance of a holistic approach to well-being in the workplace. They suggest that true improvement comes from creating a supportive and flexible work culture, where employees feel valued and find purpose in their roles.

    This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the deeper factors that contribute to a healthy and fulfilling work life.

    Things you will learn from this episode:

    • Life's Autocorrect Mechanism and Innate Drives
    • Shifting from Individual Healing to Collective Healing
    • Flourishing and Well-Being in Action
    • The Dimensions of Well-Being
