The Conversation with Lisette
11:15mins Pilar's update on how different organisations
are "going TEAL".
Should companies be obligated to provide “happiness” for their
employees? And should we have people with “Happiness” in their
titles?
Wellbeing is different for everybody, we need to take
responsibility for what is good for us.
Do we really understand what we mean by employee engagement and
happiness, and is it worth investing in these kind of
programmes?
