We launched a burnout ebook that spilled all the teaAfter years of launching ebooks on various workplace wellbeing topics, this year, we decided to switch it up and create an ebook that would be hard to forget on the trending topic of workplace burnout. Using the “burn-book” concept from the classic hit film, Mean Girls, we shared all the secrets and insights into why workplaces are burning out—and how to fix it. Check out our free downloadable Anti-Burnout Book today to get industry insights, printable checklists, and resources on how to spot the early signs.We hosted webinars with world-famous speakersIt was yet another year that our YuLife Presents team absolutely killed it in the events department! We were able to bring in several well-known, influential speakers who truly opened our eyes to new ways of seeing workplace wellbeing and more. We first brought in the lovely, Katie Maycock who dove deeper into the science of burnout, why it’s happening and how your workplace can use preventative measures to keep burnout at bay. Next up, we welcomed the Claudia Winkleman, who you’ll probably recognise from the BBC’s hit show, Traitors, to talk about her unique approach to wellbeing in the workplace—and how sometimes the secret is not taking life too seriously! This unique approach to managing wellbeing and your career will put a smile on your face and give you a new way to think about your daily approach to wellness. HR leader, Kelly Swingler, joined us as well to talk about her near-death experiences with burnout to emphasise just how serious it truly is. As the famous “burnoutologist” in the HR field, our conversation was eye-opening to the true potential impacts of burnout that you probably didn’t know existed. And last but not least, we partnered with MetLife to bring former BBC Top Gear host, Richard Hammond, to share how he returned to work from two long-term absences after experiencing severe injuries that could have cost him his life. Since nearly dying from a 319mph crash at work, Richard struggled to recover from brain damage and memory loss and had a long, difficult journey returning back to work. In this event, he shared his unique wisdom on the healing process and how that integrates into returning to the daily grind—alongside how workplaces can be more supportive of employees who are returning from severe injury or illness. As we enter 2025, we are excited to see what other milestones we hit and what new possibilities arise in the financial services space. We are determined to make this year the best one yet and share our wellbeing proposition with even more workplaces around the world.About YuLifeYuLife is working to reimagine the insurance industry by protecting lives, rewarding living and inspiring life.
