Welcome to the Wellbeing Designers Podcast!
We discover how we can design the future of well being together so we can create human-centric organizations and a sustainable work life.
In the first season of the podcast, I talked with the first generation of wellbeing leaders in big organizations. Usually, they were the very first ones in their organization ever to have the title of head of well being or similar.
In the second season, starting with episode nine, you will meet similar people again. And I invited some other interesting profiles as well. All these people work on wellbeing on a systemic level. Their mission is related to make the world a better place through focusing on wellbeing. In the past years, especially since COVID, employee well being got on the top of the agenda, not only for companies worldwide, but even some countries and other official institutions started to call for action.
In the Wellbeing Designers podcast-conversations, I would like to highlight the work of those sometimes invisible people, leaders, who are either in charge of well being in organizations and trying to navigate amongst the growing amount of well being offerings while connecting efforts. to business impact, and most importantly, create real value for employees. Or, they are those leaders who are doing their best to create international forums to exchange, raise awareness, and take action on wellbeing and people's sustainability.
They might be the ones whose responsibility is to take care of hundreds, thousands, or ten thousands of people's wellbeing.
They might be the ones who keep decision makers and CEOs engaged about the topic of well being. They might be the ones. who are proving that employee well being is a strategic enabler of sustainable performance and business success.
They might be the connectors between well being leaders across companies and countries.
I call these people wellbeing designers.
Enjoy listening to them and learning from them. Together we can design a human centric work life and the future of well being.

Dr. Steven MacGregor: Designing Wellbeing as Professor, Speaker, Author, Advisor | Episode 14
Wellness is about going to the gym after you finish work. Wellbeing is about the things that you can do within the normal work day."
Episode 14 of the Wellbeing Designers Podcast is out! Tune into the fascinating conversation between Dr. Steven MacGregor and Reka Deak.
Steven has been on a wellbeing journey for over 20 years, from his time as a visiting researcher at Stanford through pioneering wellbeing teaching at some of the world's best business schools to help tens of thousands of leaders change their approach to a busy business life.
The new version of his third book, The Daily Reset was just launched now in January 2024. He is also the host of the Chief Wellbeing Officer podcast and he published a book with the same title. Today Steven is an international speaker, a professor at the Glasgow School of Art and Advisor at McKinsey & Company.
Highlights of the conversation:
- How a PhD in engineering and design management has been inspiring his work in the wellbeing space since the very early days
- Why the role modelling of leaders is so critical to make wellbeing successful in an organisational context
- Clearly defining and distinguishing wellbeing vs wellness
- Why he thinks that Wellbeing still has that opportunity, more than ever, to show its real worth and to show its business case
- How the future wellbeing leader is challenged: having humility, empathy while looking at the science and the numbers
