Wellbeing Daily was founded on fifteen years of watching good people fail inside badly designed work, and one founder’s own burnout doing exactly that. We help high-risk industries turn wellbeing into measurable safety and performance.
Founded by Ian Collins, author of The Wellbeing Imperative (Penguin Random House, November 2026).
The Origin
Wellbeing Daily was founded by Ian Collins after more than fifteen years across oil and gas, maritime, mining, and other high-risk industries, helping organisations understand and reduce human error. Much of that work was coaching, education, and prevention: working with leaders and teams to understand how everyday work is actually done, strengthen decision-making under pressure, and find the organisational conditions that make error more likely.
Across every environment, the patterns were the same. Fatigue, cognitive overload, poorly designed work, and conflicting demands were shaping behaviour long before anything went wrong. The most useful question was rarely who failed. It was why people made the decisions they did, in the conditions they were working within.
Over time, those same conditions took a personal toll. Years of sustained travel, high-pressure consulting, and responsibility led to burnout. Not a sudden event, but the predictable outcome of prolonged exposure to the same systemic pressures Ian Collins had spent his career pointing out in others.
That experience sharpened a realisation. Most corporate wellbeing programmes focused almost entirely on the individual, resilience, mindfulness, fitness perks, without touching the root causes built into how work is designed, how leaders lead, and how performance is demanded under sustained pressure.
Wellbeing Daily was created to close that gap. The work today is about helping organisations move past reactive, isolated initiatives, toward wellbeing as a deliberate strategic input into safety, performance, and reliability, in environments where the consequences of human error are significant.
The Approach
Wellbeing is not built in a single workshop, and it is not fixed with a perk. It is built through the daily conditions of work: how it is designed, how it is led, and whether people have the capacity to do it well.
The methodology applies Human and Organisational Performance principles and aligns to ISO 45003. It rests on named, defensible frameworks rather than generic good intentions. The Six Drivers diagnostic reads the organisational conditions that produce or deplete capacity. The Capacity Index measures whether a system can absorb what goes wrong, before it does. Every intervention connects to an operational outcome a leader already tracks: incident rate, retention, quality, production.
The one rule underneath all of it: the system is accountable, not the worker.
Our Position
The system is accountable, not the worker.
When something goes wrong, the useful question is what conditions produced the decision, not who to blame. Blame suppresses the reporting and learning that make an operation safer. We will not design a programme that puts the burden on the individual for a failure the system created.
Wellbeing is operational intelligence, or it is nothing.
Not an HR perk, not a poster campaign, not a wellness week. If it does not connect to safety, quality, retention, or production, it does not belong in the work. We measure wellbeing because it predicts how the operation performs, not because it looks good in a report.
We measure systems, not feelings.
Engagement scores tell you how people feel on the day of the survey. They do not tell you where fatigue risk is building or which conditions are eroding capacity. We build instruments that read the system, because the system is what you can actually change.
We keep the provocation, even when it costs us the deal.
We will tell an organisation the uncomfortable thing rather than the reassuring one, because the uncomfortable thing is usually the useful one. If a client needs a vendor who will agree with them, we are not the right partner.
Why Trust This Work
Built on Published Expertise, Not Received Wisdom
The thinking behind Wellbeing Daily is on the record, not just in the room.
The book
Ian Collins is the author of The Wellbeing Imperative, published by Penguin Random House in November 2026. It sits on the safety and leadership shelf, not the wellness shelf, and is endorsed by leaders across the industries Wellbeing Daily serves, including Berge Bulk, Anglo-Eastern, Navios Maritime Partners, Galp, Newmont, and Rio Tinto, alongside Professor Sidney Dekker, the leading academic voice in modern safety thinking.
The platform
Ian Collins keynoted EHS Congress Berlin in 2026 and was headline partner and keynote speaker at the Wellbeing at Work Summit Asia 2026 in Singapore. He has spoken at the World Congress on Safety and Health at Work, and speaks at the ACI Maritime HR and Crew Management Summit in London in November 2026. The through-line is the same argument the business is built on: stop counting injuries, start building capacity.
The partnership
Wellbeing Daily is a licensed partner of Fisher Improvement Technologies, delivering FIT’s Human and Organisational Performance programme. The HOP methodology is not a secondhand interpretation. It is the established FIT curriculum, delivered by a certified partner.
The experience
Fifteen years across oil and gas, maritime, mining, and construction, in more than fifty countries. The specificity in the work is earned from operational experience, from someone who has stood on the platform, walked the vessel, and managed the site.

The Model
Measure. Educate. Support.
Wellbeing Daily does not deliver a workshop and disappear. The work runs through three integrated capabilities, above which sits the strategic consulting that decides which a client needs and in what order.
Measure
Assessments and diagnostics that surface system risk before it becomes an incident.
Educate
Programmes, workshops, and the HOP leadership curriculum that build capability and change the conditions, not just the briefings.
Support
Digital tools and coaching that hold the gains, including offshore, onsite, and on rotation.
Whether an organisation needs a full strategic overhaul or a targeted response to fatigue and stress, Wellbeing Daily brings the methodology, the tools, and the industry expertise to make it hold.
Who We Work With
Trusted by Leaders in High-Risk Industries
The deepest expertise sits where the consequences of human error are most significant: oil and gas, maritime and offshore, mining, and construction. If your people work in conditions where fatigue, stress, and cognitive load carry operational consequences, the work applies.
