The key to higher performance isn’t perks or programs, but genuine care for employees’ well-being.  

Mark C. Crowley joins the podcast to share insights from his book The Power of Employee Wellbeing. Drawing on both research and his experience as a manager, Crowley explains why traditional engagement programs often fall short, how to meaningfully measure well-being, and the link between productivity and authentic workplace relationships. 

The conversation also explores how to build alignment between managers and employees, gather feedback on your leadership style, and support well-being in both remote and in-person settings. You’ll leave this episode with evidence-based practices to elevate performance and strengthen employee satisfaction.
