After a long summer break, we’re excited to share the latest episode of the Wellbeing Designers Podcast!
🎧 Episode 18, Season 3 features Dr. Miriam Baumgärtner, former Head of Wellbeing and Sustainable People Performance at PwC Switzerland (note: which is an internal role, focusing on employees of the consulting company), interviewed by Réka Deák.

✅ Expectation Management and Communication: clients need to understand that high-quality work doesn’t require being constantly available.
🕒 Shifting away from the idea that long hours equal value, promoting a healthier approach to performance.

🔍 Measuring impact is complex, but feedback and ongoing dialogue are key to driving cultural change.
