Effective Well Being Interventions Don't Have Strong Evidence

In this episode we chat with Rob Briner, Professor of Organizational Psychology at Queen Mary University of London. He shares his views on the growth of employee wellbeing and workplace mental health initiatives, and explains why organisations should focus on problem identification and diagnosis before seeking solutions. We discuss what evidence-based practice looks like when conducting organisational diagnosis, and the benefits for organisations who choose diagnosis first rather than purchasing a popular solution. He shares advice on how to select an intervention, following diagnosis, in the absence of good evidence of efficacy. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/12347339_Psychosocial_Risk_Assessment_Problems_and_Prospects https://cebma.org/
