The Working Well Podcast

In this episode, we'll look at the key issues with the current model of employee benefits, and what needs to happen to actually improve employee health, happiness, engagement, and performance...at work and home.

In this week's podcast, we talk about Financial Wellness for employees and companies (EQ, IQ, and success strategies) with our special guest Timurlane Cakmak, accredited Financial Planner at Royal bank of Canada.

What are corporate creativity best practices: beyond finger painting and drum circles. Let's talk about the link between creativity, healthy workplaces, and thriving businesses.

On this show, we connect with Jennifer Buchanan, the CEO of JB Music Therapy, to talk about the influence of music in the workplace and in public, upon our mood, motivation, and engagement, and how company leaders can use that to create a more productive team.

On this show, we connect with Brian Kropp, the VP & Chief of HR Research at Gartner, who has some useful insight about the role that data plays in the transition to working from home, in employee wellness, and employee engagement. Data can give us great insight into what employees truly feel about company culture.

Today’s guest is Pam Cooper.

Pam is a global Human Resources Manager with extensive leadership experience managing company wide occupational health and wellness teams, vendors and benefits programs. 

She's consulted with local and corporate leaders regarding employee and leadership development, program design and facilitation for learning plans, technical competency frameworks, and conducted diversity and inclusion training.

Pam's experience with health & wellness in the workplace has spanned both profit and not-for-profit organizations where budgets, resources and location of employees were all factors in the programs designed and delivered.

Wellness is one of Pam’s core values and she’s a strong believer in its  the power to transform people and workplaces.  Between hikes with her family, and coffee walks with friends she likes to nourish her creative spirit through painting. 

As a leader and a coach, she encourages stakeholders to consider the costs and benefits to ensuring wellness is not simply handled off the corner of the desk.
