Sanjay PopatHOST
So is there that business case there in the way that the news is telling us, in the way that the media is telling us? What's your perspective on that?

Jennifer PosaGUEST
So like you said, I've done a number of different efforts, whether it be research that's published within peer reviewed journals or even just qualitative research within the organizations I'm working within or quantitative research for that matter.

Jennifer PosaGUEST
And through each one of my experiences, all of the data, including my dissertation data, by the way, points to well-being being very well connected and correlated with business success and performance.

Jennifer PosaGUEST
Now, of course, as you know, Sanjay, that depends on the definition of well-being and how you're defining it, how you're measuring it, the analysis that you're using.

Jennifer PosaGUEST
But what I can share with you is that not only from my research, but also from my operational experience within the organizations I have worked.

Sanjay PopatHOST
So just playing devil's advocate there, what would be your responses as a former C-suite executive yourself?

And I wonder like, it fascinates me just how maybe misaligned things are when you're thinking as a shareholder profits, you know, stock prices and that you're thinking like employee culture, wellbeing might not necessarily be, make that tomorrow a better, but maybe over time, but they're thinking like, I need the stock price to rise today.
