Episode 86: The Value of Work is the Value We Give it

How often do you sit there on Sunday night thinking 'I really don't want to go to work tomorrow'? As winter draws closer, the thought of work on a Monday morning may fill some with dread. But whilst most of us think work is a means to an end - if we could find another way of earning a living, we would, could work mean something completely different? What if work just happened to be an avenue for you to positively touch the lives of the people you come into contact with? How would this change how you thought about work? Join Amrit as he explores our thoughts about the value of our work.

About your host

Amrit Sandhar

And Evolve Ltd (formerly known as The Engagement Coach) was founded by Amrit Sandhar, who has worked with many well-known brands across the UK, to improve employee engagement/ experience, and ultimately to improve organisational productivity. With a particular passion for neuroscience and psychology to drive behavioural change, combined with his own operational experience and knowledge of employee engagement, he uses a data-driven, practical approach to identify the issues organisations are struggling with, and to work with them to create solutions leading to drive sustainable change, thereby improving productivity. Amrit has a passion for developing people, as he believes highly engaged leaders drive better business performance by getting the best out of their colleagues.

Amrit originally started a career in healthcare as a qualified Pharmacist, and after spending several years in Operations, he went on to oversee half of the UK’s Pharmacy and Optical units for Walmart’s UK business, Asda. Having successfully worked in the healthcare sector, Amrit went on to head up Employee Engagement for Asda, before taking up a role with the prestigious Best Companies (the name behind The Sunday Times Best Companies list), working at boardroom level, helping organisations improve their employee engagement. Amrit is an ILM Level 7 qualified executive coach, a Walmart accredited change trainer, and has a CIPD Advanced Diploma (Level 7) in HRM/HRD.

Amrit was a Finalist in the 2024 Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ (Service Industries - Midlands) and for the 2019 NatWest Great British Entrepreneur Awards for ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ (Service Industries - Midlands). &Evolve recently won the bronze award for our management training programme for Chester Zoo in the BIAZA (British & Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums) Awards.
