What are key issues impacting employee’s wellbeing, and how do we support them? 

We tackled this and more in the latest episode of Let’s Talk About EX where we were joined by Dr Natalie Flatt, a psychologist, researcher and business owner with a knack for innovation - especially in the workplace wellbeing and mental health area!

We had an awesome conversation as Natalie shared her insights and experience in working with organisations to improve their response to wellbeing in her role as Co-founder/ CEO of Connect Psych Services. 

And, we also touched on some of the research and amazing work that she’s doing in her other role (she must have cloned herself, surely?!) as Chief Innovation Leader at one of Australia’s leading workplace wellbeing research groups at Superfriend.

If you care about workplace wellbeing, your team’s wellbeing or how to support people in your team better - there’s heaps in this episode for you … Enjoy! 

If you don’t define your culture, then how can you describe it to others? How do you drive it? How do you grow it? How do you measure it? 

We covered this in the latest episode of Let’s Talk About EX where we were joined by Mary Lemonis, the Chief People and Sustainability Officer at REA group. 

REA Group are a collection of 16 brands, with 3000 employees operating across three continents. Whether you know REA group or not, you’re probably familiar with and have used their technology and platforms  … as they’re the group behind companies like RealEstate.com, Mortgage Choice, Flatmates.com.au, Property.com.au … and more.

So, it made for an interesting conversation as we discussed a range of things that happened to tie back Mary’s experience in establishing and growing strategies that are purpose-driven… and backed by data! 

We covered heaps of topics - EVP, Leadership, Talent attraction, people data, future of work …  you name it. 

Mary was generous in sharing her ideas and stories, so I think you’ll get a lot out of it … have a listen.

Millions of Australians are working parents. In fact, 67% of families in Australia have two working parents! It’s amazing that with so many people experiencing what it’s like to work as a parent that our workplaces, the employee experience and even society doesn’t really feel like it’s designed for smooth sailing for parents. 

On this episode of Let’s Talk About EX, we’re joined by Nadine O’Regan, General Manager at TQ Solutions. 

We discussed the experience or working parents - their needs, frustrations, the importance of flexibility; and, what workplaces are doing (and can do) to create a culture that supports working parents.

Nadine has a great deal of experience in this area, and is passionate about the topic - so it’s great to have her on the podcast to share her insights, tips and ideas.
