Improvisation in practice: less planning, more action

In this episode of the "Well Said" series, Andrzej Silczuk speaks with Piotr Sokół—HR Director at Michelin Polska and an HR management practitioner with over 23 years of experience in an organization employing nearly 5,000 people—about how to systematically build employee wellbeing in a manufacturing company. We discuss: - why psychosocial risks are becoming as critical to strategy as physical safety or compensation, and what this means for employers today, - how COVID-19 accelerated the decision to implement systemic solutions and what lessons have remained, - what the ISO 45003 standard is, why Michelin was one of the first companies in Poland to implement it, and why a 93% compliance score is just the starting point, - how to measure workload in conversations with employees and why subjective assessment is key, - where an employer's responsibility for mental health ends, and whether it should have a limit at all. The journey from initial preventive campaigns to a certified system took nearly a decade. The question is: where do you start if you are just taking your first steps?

Should we look for the secret to longevity in a pharmacy, in apps, or perhaps… in an evening spent dancing with friends? What would longevity actually look like in practice? And is it truly within our reach? In the first part of Artur Kurasiński’s podcast 404: Well-being Not Found, guests Dr. Łukasz Sobkowiak, a molecular biologist, and Ola and Piotr Stanisławscy, science communicators and creators of the blog Crazy Nauka, answer these questions and many more.

"Boss, I'm not feeling well" – when it comes to something like a stomach ache, most of us know how to offer support. But what if it’s a mental health issue? How should a leader respond to provide genuine support to an employee? Can you anticipate such situations within a team? And finally, how do you create an environment that fosters trust and open communication?
