Why Employee Wellbeing Should Start with Data Visibility, Not Perks

In this UC Today interview, host Kristian McCann speaks with Callum Pennington, CEO & Co-Founder of HBHR, to unpack a growing issue facing modern organizations: employee wellbeing that’s treated as a bolt-on rather than a business-critical priority. 

If you think wellbeing is about perks, think again. This discussion reveals why the fundamentals—like accurate pay, workload visibility, and unified data—are the real drivers of trust, engagement, and retention. 

Pennington joins UC Today to explain why organizations need to rethink how they approach wellbeing from the ground up.

Key points:
🔵 Why “bolted-on” wellbeing strategies fail to address root causes like payroll errors and workload imbalance
🔵 The role of unified HR, payroll, and operations data in identifying burnout before it’s too late
🔵 Eye-opening stats: one in three employees are one paycheck away from financial crisis
🔵 How AI-powered alerts helped uncover a costly payroll error—paying a former employee for 18 months
