In a recent episode of the HR business growth podcast, A Better HR Business, Ben spoke with Tobba Vigfusdottir, CEO and Founder of rapidly-growing Kara Connect, a customised mental health and wellbeing platform for employees.
Tobba has an M.Ed. in Educational Psychology from the University of Washington in Seattle and a B.Ed. from the University of Iceland; both focused on cognitive psychology.
Tobba has, throughout her career, focused on the problem of access to help and support. Her experience as a local politician brought forward the systemic problems people face in getting the proper support to get better.
Tobba established an online speech therapy company before establishing Kara Connect. She sits on the National Theatre board and the Science and Technology board appointed by the Minister of Innovation. Before entrepreneurship, Tobba was an elected city councillor in Reykjavík for 12 years, a political Advisor to the Minister of Education, and a project manager for a women’s entrepreneurial program.
In a wide-ranging interview, Tobba and Ben discussed these topics:
✅ The role leadership plays in creating a mentally healthy workplace culture.
✅ What Kara Connect does and how it helps organisations improve workplace wellbeing.
✅ The main or most common mental health and wellbeing challenges in workplaces today.
✅ Ineffective ways companies try to address these challenges.
✅ Approaches that actually work when it comes to supporting mental health and creating healthier workplaces.
✅ What has worked well in terms of business growth and getting the word out about Kara Connect.
✅ And much more.
