The Role of Organizational Culture in Preventing Burnout with Dr. Joel Bennett

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Joel Bennett, PhD, President of Organizational Wellness and Learning Systems (OWLs), about the crucial topics of burnout, personal awakening, and the importance of a healthy workplace culture. Reflecting on my own journey, I shared how I once found myself caught in the relentless cycle of work, measuring my days in dollars rather than experiences. It took the global pause of COVID-19 for me to truly reevaluate my life, leading to significant changes in my perspective on time, well-being, and self-care. Dr. Bennett emphasized the ripple effect that leadership has on workplace wellness. As leaders, we set the tone for our organizations; our behaviors and attitudes can inspire or demoralize our teams. We discussed four key paths that leaders can take to foster a healthier work environment, including role modeling self-care, practicing emotional intelligence, and creating supportive spaces for employees. These aren’t just nice-to-haves—they"re essential for sustaining productivity and employee satisfaction. Together, we explored the idea that while statistics and research provide valuable insights, they often overlook the chaotic factors and environmental conditions that can influence outcomes. It’s not just about following a formula; it’s about creating a nurturing environment where well-being can flourish. I believe our conversation can serve as a wake-up call for listeners to take charge of their health and the health of their organizations. Change starts with a single step, and by prioritizing our well-being, we can unlock potential both within ourselves and our teams. Join us as we dive deeper into these topics, celebrating the beauty of recovery and the power of intentional living. I hope this episode inspires you to embrace the transformative journey toward wellness, for yourself and those around you.
