Most companies talk about employee wellbeing after burnout has already happened.

By the time surveys show disengagement or attrition increases, the damage is already done.

I believe employee wellbeing should work quietly, daily, and early inside how people actually work.

I am building Wanderfly with a simple but powerful idea.
Understand stress patterns before they turn into burnout.

My work focuses on predictive and everyday wellbeing rather than one off programs, annual surveys, or compliance driven initiatives. Real wellbeing is not an event. It is a system.

Through Wanderfly, I work with organizations to move from reacting to stress to preventing it.
From measuring wellbeing to truly protecting it.
From isolated initiatives to embedded support.

I spend most of my time thinking about

Early signals of burnout that companies miss

How daily work data reflects human stress

How technology can support wellbeing without adding noise

What the future of healthy work should actually look like

If you are an HR leader, founder, or people manager who believes wellbeing should be proactive and practical, we will likely agree on a lot.

Let us build workplaces where people do not have to break down before they get support.

5 employees on your team are burning out right now.

You just don't know which 5.
Gallup says 76%. WHO calls it an occupational phenomenon. McKinsey puts the global cost at $1 trillion.

But most companies still measure employee wellbeing once a year.

With a survey nobody takes seriously.
That's like checking your bank balance once a year and hoping you're not broke.

I made a video breaking down what burnout actually costs and the 3-step framework to catch it before your best people quietly disappear.

What's one sign of burnout you've seen companies completely ignore?

Founder at Wanderfly | Building predictive employee wellbeing to prevent burnout before it starts

At our The Shape of Work awards day, we invited Akshita Tiwari (She/Her) to share a quick perspective on employee wellbeing.

We asked one focused question.

What is the real relationship between employee wellbeing and retention?

Her answer stayed with me.

She said definitely there is a relation and went on to mention something that am going to carry forward is "You need to take care of the employees, for them to take care of company"

What she said next was even more powerful in the context of startups.

In early stage and growth companies, employees are expected to take ownership, move faster, and solve beyond their role. That level of ownership needs support.

That line captures it perfectly. Taking care of people is not separate from building the company. It is how the company is built.

If you are serious about retention, wellbeing cannot be treated as an extra initiative. It has to be part of operating culture.

People leaders and founders how are you linking wellbeing to retention in your teams today?

You don't believe my words, listen from her then

Thank you so much Akshita Tiwari (She/Her) for gracing our booth at TSOW awards.

Sorry for my 123 😁

Your wellness budget just failed.
Again.

You added:
→ Meditation apps
→ EAP programs
→ Mental health webinars
→ Wellness days off
And your best engineer still quit last month.

Here's what the wellness industry won't tell you:
You got sold.
Lie #1: "More programs = Better wellbeing"
False. Access isn't adoption. Your EAP usage is 8%. That's not a wellness program, that's an expensive brochure.
Lie #2: "Employees will speak up when struggling"
False. 80% of burned-out employees stay silent. By the time they ask for help, they already have another offer.
Lie #3: "Apps and resources fix culture"
False. Managers drive 70% of engagement variance. Your toxic manager is undoing every wellness rupee you spend.

The uncomfortable truth?
You can't:

Meditate away 12-hour workdays
EAP away bad management
Wellness-program away burnout culture

What actually works:
❌ More resources
✅ Early detection systems
❌ Waiting for employees to speak up
✅ Proactively measuring team health
❌ Apps that sit unused
✅ Manager accountability for wellbeing

Stop treating symptoms.
Start fixing causes.

These inland letters were written to me in 1984, when I moved to Bangalore to scout for a job.

At the time, phone connections were rare. Trunk calls could take hours to connect, if they connected at all. Letters were not just communication, they were lifelines. Families stayed in touch through handwritten updates, worries, encouragement, and everyday news.

Looking back, I realise we understood the value of communication. We wrote often. We waited patiently. And every letter mattered.

These letters from my parents and brother are among the few handwritten memories I still have. I kept them folded away, softly, lovingly.

When I titled my poetry collection, I was really naming this feeling - Folded Away Softly.

A long conversation with a friend about childhood pranks and small moments stayed with me today.

It reminded me that memory is often a storyteller’s richest material.

Looking back, I realise that many of the communication skills that helped me in entrepreneurship come from the same place, listening attentively, observing closely, and understanding what people don’t say out loud.

Sometimes, all it takes is a quiet pause for old stories to return with new meaning.

#Storytelling #CommunicationSkills #Leadership

For many years, the poems that now form Folded Away Softly were never written with publication in mind.

They were simply written in moments that impacted me, moments that needed to be written.

Some belonged to personal reflections. Some were observations of happenings around me.
 
Going back to those pages recently, I realised they carried a common thread across years of life, work, and change. That was the moment the thought came quietly: perhaps this is not just writing anymore, perhaps this is my first book.

For anyone who has created something privately for years before sharing it, you will understand this feeling.

I attended a book launch this weekend and chose to stay for the entire programme.

What struck me most was the pace. It was unhurried, thoughtful, and rooted in conversation. The audience leaned towards a senior demographic, which was both reflective and revealing. It reminded me that literary spaces are still sustained by those who deeply value reading and cultural continuity.

The event concluded with lunch, reinforcing the sense of community that often gets lost in faster, transactional gatherings.

On a personal note, I met Naganath G S in person for the first time. We have collaborated on the illustrations for both my books, yet had never met face to face until now. There is something grounding about finally shaking hands with someone whose creative work has travelled alongside yours.

I also had the opportunity to meet Balakrishna Bellur, 2 of the authors and the publisher, adding to the richness of the afternoon.

Literary events like these are warm and valuable.
