Anxiety: A Strategic Imperative – with Nick Jemetta - (Beyond The Water Cooler) Podcast Details

Description

Nick Jemetta, founder of Stories Matter, joins me to discuss anxiety. He is passionate about creating connection, conversation, curiosity and change. And he takes a holistic approach to mental health.

Stress, anxiety and depression are thought to be responsible for almost half of working days lost in Britain due to health issues.

According to the Workplace Health Report 2022, 58% of employees are experiencing anxiety, and 34% of those experiencing anxiety are aged 25-34.

In the current climate of financial stress, ongoing strikes, international conflict and other negative news filling the media channels, it is no surprise that rates of anxiety are reaching new levels.

Nick and I discuss:

The need for a different approach to a growing problem
People at risk of developing anxiety
Strategies for companies to consider for an organisational response
The need to rethink expectations of managers
