Why Supporting Employees Means Supporting Their Families | Karl Bennett & Ali Knowles

Can employers truly support employee wellbeing without supporting their families? In this insightful conversation, Karl Bennett, Founder of The Wellbeing Consortium and Wellbeing Director & EAPA, sits down with Ali Knowles, founder of Ollie and His Super Powers, to explore one of the most overlooked challenges in workplace wellbeing. Together, they discuss why an employee's greatest source of stress is often not work itself, but what's happening at home. From children's emotional wellbeing to family dynamics, they explain why traditional Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs) need access to specialist therapeutic support that addresses the whole environment surrounding the employee. In this discussion you'll discover: ✅ Why children's mental health is becoming a workplace issue ✅ How family challenges affect productivity, attendance and well-being ✅ Why simply listening isn't always enough to create lasting change ✅ How therapeutic interventions help people move from problem to solution ✅ Why supporting an employee often means understanding the people around them ✅ How employers can provide meaningful support while remaining within EAP and HMRC frameworks Ali also shares a powerful personal story from her move to Australia, demonstrating how changing our mindset can transform the way we respond to life's biggest challenges.
