Leigh has written a very digestible book on how to improve wellness in the workplace. What makes her work the more relatable, is that she already had considerable experience in designing sustainable workplaces, yet experienced the toll that traditional workplace expectations and practices take on health and wellbeing. Like many, she gained weight, lacked energy and could see burnout looming if she continued doing what she had always done. She shares her personal and professional journey exploring how to manage her energy levels, incorporating good nutrition, recovery, exercise and restorative sleep into her daily activities and what can be done within workplaces to support employees to manage their energy levels . Along the way she has provided some valuable insights into what leading organisations are doing to support employees to manage their energy levels and how that has changed the wellness profile of those organisations. She also clearly articulates the business case that better health results in improved performance as the companies investing in their people are outperforming their competitors when measured using traditional financial metrics.
