This first podcast will focus on the impact of lack of human interaction and what we mean by wellbeing and being well.

A fundamental cornerstone of human wellbeing is human interaction, and there have been various measures in place which have affected this throughout the pandemic. In terms of work, that is normally the greatest chunk of the day taken up and in some cases there really is very little interaction happening, or in some cases, it is back to back meetings but via tools such as Zoom.

Some of the key questions that this podcast answers include:

• What is wellbeing?

• What impact does uncertainty have on people?

• What do we know about the impact human interaction has on wellbeing?

• What should colleagues and line managers consider now in terms of interaction?
