OM DENNE EPISODE
In this episode of "I Am Pausing," host Hannah Godfrey sits down with Lauren Lunniss, Health and Wellbeing Lead at BNP Paribas, to explore the evolution of corporate wellness strategy in today's hybrid workplace.
From Personal Training to Strategic Wellbeing Leadership
Lauren brings over 17 years of health and wellbeing expertise to the conversation. She shares her career journey from personal training to leading wellbeing initiatives at one of the world's largest banks. Her role has transformed from operational tasks to strategic culture change, focussing on embedding sustainable wellbeing practices across the organisation.
Breaking Taboos: Menopause, Mental Health & Neurodiversity at Work
The conversation tackles topics many workplaces still avoid. Lauren discusses why organisations must address menopause, mental health, neurodiversity, and other previously taboo subjects to support their workforce effectively. Creating psychologically safe environments where employees feel comfortable discussing health needs isn't just compassionate—it's essential for business performance.
As Lauren powerfully states: "Wellbeing affects every single facet of the business."
