Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning podcast where behavioural science meets workplace culture.
This week, Al and Leanne sit down with Aoife O’Brien Founder of Happier at Work and host of the Happier at Work podcast — for a conversation about why so many people feel misaligned at work, and what leaders can do about it.
Aoife combines evidence, honesty and lived experience to break down the real drivers of engagement: values, fit, autonomy, fairness and meaning. It’s a grounded, practical discussion that cuts through surface-level “happiness initiatives” and focuses instead on the deeper psychological conditions that actually make work feel good.
Expect to learn:
Why values misalignment is one of the strongest predictors of disengagement
How to diagnose whether your team is missing autonomy, clarity or recognition
The role of data in understanding what employees really want
How senior leaders accidentally create the problems they’re trying to solve
What organisations can do to build cultures where people genuinely thrive
The biggest myths about “workplace happiness” (and how to avoid them)
Whether you're a founder, a manager or anyone rebuilding their relationship with work, this episode is full of practical, evidence-based ideas you can act on immediately.
