This week on Wow Ergonomics, Graham and Steven dive straight into the realities of modern working life — illness, pressure, tech frustrations, workplace culture, parenting chaos, and the ever-shifting meaning of “wellbeing at work.” And joining them for the ride is the brilliant Lauren Holmes, of Perfect Support, who shines a light on what organisations often miss when it comes to supporting their people.Expect conversations about:Why sickness levels are at a 15-year highWhether working from home has changed how (and when) we “push through”The hidden mental health pressures employees are carryingParenting, school calls, and the real-life interruptions that shape working daysHow tech can both help and completely overwhelmWhy wellbeing and ergonomics must be treated togetherThe massive gap between frontline experience and leadership assumptionsWhy managers need emotional intelligence as much as any system or processLauren brings honest, grounded insights on mental health, neurodivergence, grief, loss, change, and the support employees desperately need — but often don’t know exists. Graham and Steven explore how organisations can rethink culture, conversation, and the messy realities people face long before they sit at a desk.This episode is for anyone interested in workplace wellbeing, ergonomics, culture change, or simply understanding people better and how we can all work in ways that are more human, more supportive, and far less chaotic.
