The Work Well Podcast - Past, present & future of workplace wellbeing with Professor Sir Cary Cooper

Today on The Work Well Podcast, we have the great privilege of being joined by Professor Sir Cary Cooper.

Cary is the 50th Anniversary Professor of Organisational Psychology and Health at the ALLIANCE Manchester Business School in the University of Manchester and the President of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development. He is also the author and editor of countless scholarly articles and books, with which he contributes to expanding the knowledge on management, organisational behavior, and social sciences.

Cary's curriculum is extensive, so I'm excited to have him here to talk about the evolution and the future of mental health and wellbeing in the workplace.

About The Work Well Podcast:
The World Health Organisation has identified the workplace as a priority area for health promotion. Why then, does the word “work” have such a negative and unhealthy connotation for so many? Think about it, we spend so much of our adult lives “at work”, why should it be in a role or in an environment that doesn’t support our health and wellbeing?

My name is Brian Crooke and I’m on a mission to make workplaces more positive places to be and to make our working day as healthy and productive as possible.

Join me on The Work Well Podcast as I interview workplace wellbeing thought leaders and industry professionals to discuss how employers, employees and entrepreneurs can lead the way by creating and sustaining the healthy, safe and well workplaces of the future.
