Bianca Errigo on Workplace Wellbeing, Performance & Leadership

In this episode of Trail Blazers, we sit down with Bianca Errigo, global speaker and founder of Human OS, to explore what modern organisations are getting wrong about workplace wellbeing and what it truly takes to build environments where people can perform at their best.

Bianca shares insights from their latest global wellbeing report, revealing why so many strategies fall short despite good intentions. She explains how today’s workplaces are still shaped by Industrial Age thinking, and why this outdated model leaves employees exhausted, disengaged and searching for meaning. Together, we unpack the shift from individual performance to more collaborative, team centred approaches and why honest, transparent leadership is becoming essential in the age of AI.

Throughout the conversation, Bianca introduces the core pillars she believes define sustainable high performance: balance, belonging and development. From the realities of burnout to the importance of psychological safety, she highlights the cultural and structural changes organisations need to make if they want people to thrive. We also discuss practical ideas such as performance dials, clear expectations and smarter workload cycles that can help workplaces become more human, flexible and future ready.

Whether you are a leader, a manager or someone navigating modern work, this episode offers a grounded yet optimistic look at how we can redesign our organisations for people rather than processes. It is an important listen for anyone interested in workplace culture, wellbeing and the future of work.
