What does a mentally healthy workplace really look like when you strip away the slogans and policies?
In the latest episode of Inside Out: Mental Health at Work and in Life, Catherine Eadie is joined by Dr Luis Soares, Science Communicator and Research Impact Lead at the University of Edinburgh.
Together, they explore why mental health so often remains invisible at work, and how pace, pressure and output-driven cultures quietly undermine wellbeing. The conversation looks beyond frameworks and policies to focus on slowing down work, shifting from outputs to outcomes, and the power of everyday human behaviours.
This episode challenges the idea that mental health is an individual issue to manage privately, and instead asks what responsibility organisations and leaders have in designing work that allows people to function, connect and stay well.
If workplaces treated pace and attention as wellbeing issues, what would change?
