In this episode, I am delighted to have Professor Sir Cary Cooper as my guest. Cary is the President of the CIPD, researcher, practitioner and part of the Manchester Business School. His accolades are too long for me to list here so if you want to find out more about him, here is a link to a bio of his. I wanted to get Cary on the podcast for quite a while now as someone that is personally experienced and a respected researcher in this area. We get into:

Cary’s personal experiences with Stress and Wellbeing

His experiences working, consulting and researching in the workplace

The importance of stress and mental health for individuals, teams, companies and the economy as a whole

Uncertainty, anxiety, burnout and the difference between acute and chronic stress

This is a fab episode and here are the links and references:
