PAUL WILLIAMSON heads up learning and development at The Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG), a global live entertainment business. He talked about what affects wellbeing in the workplace. “People experience stress at work and
for this reason, it is really important that organisations and teams take this seriously because taken as a whole across a team or an organisation that can very easily affect the bottom line and your reputation,” he says. “How can leaders support wellbeing within their organisation?
