The HR Room Podcast

As we’ve spoken about over the last number of weeks on this podcast, the area of wellbeing is far-reaching and thankfully is developing hugely over time. Although there has been progress, in practice, is workplace wellbeing truly fit-for-purpose, accessible, and inclusive for all?

On episode 116 of the HR Room Podcast, we're joined by an Award winning Business Psychologist, Keynote Speaker, Media Contributor and Wellbeing Specialist, who has been interviewed by Vogue, The Guardian and Newsweek, the brilliant Lee Chambers.
