In this episode, we delve into ways to provide support for employees facing health challenges and changes. From crafting robust support systems to nurturing a culture of empathy, we'll uncover actionable strategies to empower your workforce and enable them to navigate obstacles with resilience and hope.

The guest this time is Max Landry, Co-Founder & Co-CEO at Peppy, a health app that connects your people to real, human experts, giving them the care and answers they need to take control of their health and bring their best selves to work, every day.

Peppy's trained practitioners support employees through underserved areas of health that fall through the gaps all too often – menopause, fertility, having a baby, and other health-related issues affecting women, men, and the LGBTQ+ community.

The Peppy team says they offer expertise delivered with time, passion, and empathy, reducing the health worries that cause employees to disengage, or even leave employment altogether.

Prior to co-founding Peppy, Max was Co-Founder and Chief Executive of media company The Conversation UK. Prior to that, he was Co-Founder and Managing Director of Paperstone, one of the UK's first online office supplies companies.

• How do you work with HR teams to help them create actionable strategies to empower their workforces and enable them to navigate obstacles with resilience and hope?

• How do you see attitudes in the workplace changing towards health support for women, men and the LGBTQ+ community?
