How workplace diversity contributes to employee wellbeing

Moving beyond traditional setups to an inclusive setup is fundamentally imperative to bring about a workplace revolution, and this enlightening episode of the EY Nordic Fit for Future Podcast sheds light on that.

Host Jessica Schmidt, along with guests, engages in an enlightening discussion about the critical importance of workplace inclusion and wellbeing.

In a candid conversation, Dr. Nelson recounts her personal encounter with burnout, and how it led her to investigate the impact of our environment on workplace wellbeing. “There is so much to learn about how our brains work — and a way for all of us to feel included, be curious about each other, and see our unique strengths,” says Dr. Nelson on neurodiversity.

Her story adds a personal dimension to the broader topic of workplace design. 

Additionally, this episode talks about the importance of moving beyond traditional diversity frameworks to embrace a more holistic approach that prioritizes overall employee wellbeing.

The conversation also extensively highlights the significance of accommodating neurodiversity and the need for adaptable workspaces that cater to the diverse needs of employees.

As organizations strive to create environments where all employees feel valued and supported, understanding the key elements of inclusion and wellbeing becomes essential.
