workplace wellbeing
Workplace wellbeing is a corporate slogan dressed up as a cure-all collage of potted plants and artisanal lunches. It promises the holy grail of stress-productivity equilibrium while trapping employees in a vanishing cage of mindfulness meetings. As staff savor their slice of happiness, a silent wave of KPIs creeps in. It legitimizes corporate social responsibility and offers the perfect mix of apps and notifications instead of carrots and sticks. Its true purpose is to function as a mechanism that looks virtuous as long as employees keep working.
