Welcome to this week's episode of "It's Wellsday," where we sum up April's most pressing issues and intriguing developments in the workplace and beyond. In this episode, we highlight a variety of topics that shaped the corporate and social landscapes globally in April 2024.

First up, we explore some very new employee perk at Google Australia & New Zealand. Google is stepping up its game by introducing an innovative benefit that assists employees looking to start or grow their families, including unique support measures for those planning to have a child.

Next, we tackle the uneasy topic of mass layoffs. Discover how Spotify ended with tightening it's belt, reducing 1500 job positions in it's structures.

Moving to Europe, we discuss the phenomenon of a sunless winter and its implications. Many regions are experiencing fewer sunny days which could lead to an increase in cases of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). People really do miss the Sun so much they have started to make memes.
