Workplace wellness is broken. Free snacks, ping-pong tables, yoga-at-lunch—none of it actually works if your workplace culture is toxic or disconnected. So what does create a thriving, healthy work environment? According to today’s guests, it starts with leadership—and it’s a lot less about perks and a lot more about people.

We’re diving deep into the real future of workplace wellness with Dr. Patricia Grabarek and Dr. Katina Sawyer, co-founders of Workr Beeing and co-authors of the book Leading for Wellness: How to Create a Team Culture Where Everyone Thrives. These two powerhouse I/O psychologists have spent their careers studying what actually works when it comes to employee well-being, team dynamics, and leadership. Spoiler alert: most wellness programs are missing the mark completely.

Workplace wellness doesn’t start with nap pods or smoothie bars—it starts with people feeling seen, heard, and valued. If you’re a leader, this episode is your wake-up call. If you’re not a leader, it’s your permission to want more than burnout and survival.
