S4E11. How to make wellbeing at work actually work with Phil Wolffe
Stay at the Top
Why traditional EAP models fall short
Phil critiques reactive EAPs: low engagement, slow response times, and why proactive prevention is superior.
In this episode of Stay at the Top, I am joined by wellbeing and performance specialist Phil Wolffe, founder of Kinex Health. Phil has spent over 15 years helping organisations build cultures that actually support human performance. His philosophy is simple: wellbeing is a skill set, and when you upskill people and leaders, performance takes care of itself.
We explore the biggest shifts happening in workplace wellbeing, why traditional EAP models are falling short, and what is required to create sustainable performance from the individual to the organisational level.
Whether you are a leader, founder, or someone who cares deeply about their health and performance, this episode will challenge how you think about wellbeing at work and what it takes to make it stick.
In this episode, I cover:
- Why wellbeing must be viewed as a skill, not a perk
- The biggest shift happening in workplace wellbeing right now
- Why organisations need to focus on systems, not one-off events
- The hierarchy of wellbeing: sleep, movement, nutrition
- Why movement is the strongest predictor of longevity
- The role of energy as the currency of life
- How small behaviours compound into long-term performance
- The problem with traditional EAP models
- Practical ways leaders can support wellbeing at scale
- Why perfectionism is one of the biggest wellbeing barriers
- The case for proactive, not reactive wellbeing
