Welcome to the Workplace Wellness podcast with me, Karen Weir. During this series, I’m going to be joined by expert guests and my colleagues to discuss the work we’ve been doing to improve wellness in the workplace.

In today’s episode, I’m continuing my conversation with Michael Dungait, farmer and environmentalist from Green Acres, a family-run farm in Northumberland that supports local, nature-based carbon offsetting.

Their work includes planting trees, creating bee habitats, and restoring grasslands, all while building stronger connections with the community, schools, and charities.

In part two of our chat, we dive deeper into the link between environmental responsibility and employee wellbeing. We explore how sustainability and climate action can become powerful drivers for staff engagement, retention, and purpose and how employers can lead the way in creating climate-conscious workplace cultures.

This episode is packed with practical insights for any business looking to make a real difference for their people, and for the planet.

Welcome to the Workplace Wellness podcast with me, Karen Weir. During this series, I’m going to be joined by expert guests and my colleagues to discuss the work we’ve been doing to improve wellness in the workplace.

In today’s episode, I am turning the tables (quite literally!) and being interviewed by Moja Group CEO Sophie Milliken.

Together, we chat all about where my passion for workplace wellness comes from and how I have implemented it at Weir Insurance. I share what works for me and how it can sometimes be different for my team. I also give Sophie some top tips on how other leaders can make their own changes in their places of work too.
