How Stress Impacts Employee Wellbeing and Performance at Work

Want to improve employee performance? 

In this episode, I pull from years of experience in organisations like British Airways and Virgin Atlantic to unpack how stress, emotional regulation, and thought patterns shape employee wellbeing—and why many workplace wellbeing strategies miss the mark.

If your current initiatives aren’t driving real change, this is where to look.

🔍 Key Topics Covered:

• What High Performance Really Means: It’s not about pushing harder—it’s about working smarter through emotional regulation and awareness.

• The Evolution of Workplace Wellbeing: Why perks aren’t enough and how long-term employee wellbeing programs drive measurable results.

• The Mind-Body Connection: How the unconscious mind, stress response, and emotional triggers silently shape behaviour and performance.

• Managing Mental Exhaustion: Simple shifts in presence and focus that make all the difference in today’s always-on culture.

• Why Thought Awareness is Foundational: Before we optimise sleep, nutrition, or resilience—we must understand how our thinking creates experience.

• Wellbeing as a Performance Strategy: How powerful, psychology-backed employee wellbeing solutions improve productivity, engagement, and retention.
