    Improving Wellbeing at Work with Ashish Kothari and Dr. Samata Vasisht

    Improving Wellbeing at Work with Ashish Kothari and Dr. Samata Vasisht

    A lot of people feel stressed and burnt out at work these days. Even though companies try to help with things like health apps or gym memberships, these efforts often don't really solve the problem. That is because these solutions only focus on the individual and ignore bigger issues like the work environment, how teams work together, and whether the job itself is satisfying and meaningful. 
    In this episode of the HAPPINESS SQUAD Podcast, Ashish Kothari and Dr. Samata Vasisht, Founder of Synergy Holistic, talk about how to improve wellbeing at work. 
    Dr. Samata Vasisht, transitioning from a seasoned physician to a holistic well-being expert and transformational coach, offers a rare fusion of spiritual wisdom and scientific insight. Her global journey, spanning from the US to the UK, Dubai, and India, has equipped her with diverse experiences and profound knowledge. 
    She has left a significant mark on top-tier companies like Unilever, Microsoft, and Shell. Dr. Vasisht stands as an inspiring guide for those seeking to master the challenges of today's workplace with resilience, purpose, and a profound understanding of well-being.
    The conversation highlights a crucial gap in many well-being programs: the failure to address broader issues such as the work environment, team dynamics, and the meaningfulness of the job itself.
    Ashish and Dr. Samata highlight the importance of a holistic approach to well-being in the workplace. They suggest that true improvement comes from creating a supportive and flexible work culture, where employees feel valued and find purpose in their roles. 
    This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the deeper factors that contribute to a healthy and fulfilling work life.
    Things you will learn from this episode:
