Wellbeing Designed Organisations
“Businesses exist specifically to make the most optimal contribution possible to the long-term wellbeing of all people and the planet.” British Standards Institute PAS 808.
The old maps of business no longer serve us. Like ancient mariners who believed the world was flat, we’ve been operating with incomplete understanding of what makes organisations, and our lives, truly successful.
Head – The Reality Check
Traditional business models, which served us well in the industrial age, have now created a perfect storm of challenges: burnout epidemics, environmental crisis, and widening economic gaps. As we journey to an exciting new future we’ve been navigating by incomplete coordinates – measuring success through profit alone while ignoring the broader territories of human experience.
Heart – The Human Cost
Every day, millions walk into workplaces that drain rather than energise them. They trade their wellbeing for wages, their purpose for paychecks. The emotional toll is immense, but it doesn’t have to be this way.
Gut – The Awakening
Something profound is stirring in the business world. Leaders are sensing that the next evolution isn’t about choosing between profit and purpose – it’s about creating wellbeing. This isn’t just another management theory; it’s a fundamental shift in how we think about organisational success.
Hands – The Path Forward
The Wellbeing Designed Organisations framework offers a practical roadmap across eight interconnected domains:
- Mental: From stress and anxiety to focused creativity
- Emotional: From dissatisfaction to greater happiness
- Physical: From burnout to sustainable energy
- Spiritual: From disconnection to purposeful work
- Social: From isolation to meaningful collaboration
- Cultural: From uniformity to enriching diversity
- Environmental: From exploitation to regeneration
- Economic: From scarcity to shared prosperity
The future belongs to organisations that understand this interconnected nature of wellbeing.
Are you ready to be part of this transformation? The Wellbeing Designed Organisations Mastermind Group is forming now. Together, we’ll design organisations that write the next chapter of business evolution.
