The Wellbeing Edge

Jarrod Haar has spent decades studying the thing most of us spend over half of our waking lives doing, work. As one of New Zealand's most prolific management researchers, his work spans burnout, leadership, work-life balance, inclusion, innovation, and teams. But underneath all of it is a single driving question: what actually allows people to thrive?In this conversation, we go well beyond the headlines. Jarrod unpacks what large-scale data can — and can't — tell us about the human experience at work. We talk about the kind of leadership and culture that genuinely changes outcomes, and why belonging and connection matter more than most leaders realise.We also discuss how he protects his own wellbeing, what meaningful contribution feels like now, and what he believes about people, work, and living well.Jarrod can be reached via his email: [email protected]
