Wellness Beyond the Surface is the go-to podcast for People Strategy Leaders in b2b tech and fintech who are ready to integrate employee well-being across organizational culture, leadership practices, and operational systems—not just add another wellness perk.

Hosted by Damalie C. Akuamoah, each episode explores how to embed well-being into all three domains of your organization to create both measurable people impact (retention, manager sustainability, team health) and sustainable business outcomes (operational stability, scalability, ROI).

About Damalie:

Partners with b2b fintech & tech people strategy leaders ready to move beyond wellness programs and surface-level fixes, and build retention infrastructure, so burnout-driven attrition stops being their problem to solve alone.

Results: improved retention, healthier teams, sustained managers, and measurable business outcomes that scale.

Well-being as a retention infrastructure - not wellness perks
