Workplace Wellbeing Consultant

Ulla Piscopiello

Workplace wellbeing consulting, strengthened by 20+ years of experience in strategic communication, organisational culture and employer branding — a combination that makes it easier to see connections and turn insight into practice.

Who I work with

I work with leaders and HR teams who want evidence — not slogans — when it comes to workplace wellbeing.

You might be a good fit if...

  • employee stress or burnout is increasing — or turnover is higher than you'd like — but the underlying causes aren't clear
  • you ran an employee survey — and it's been gathering dust in a drawer, or it raised more questions than it answered
  • your wellbeing data exists, but isn't connected to what people actually experience at work
  • psychosocial risk mapping is a legal requirement — and you want to do it properly, not just tick a box
  • you want a practical next step — not another report that no one acts on
  • you want to understand and support your people's wellbeing — not because something has gone wrong, but because it matters

A structured assessment of employee wellbeing and the psychosocial factors that influence stress, burnout risk and organisational effectiveness — using validated instruments aligned with current research and regulation.

02

About

From strategic communication to evidence-based workplace wellbeing.

Portrait of Ulla Piscopiello

With an international business management background (Estonian Business School and Bocconi University), my career started in media and advertising agencies, followed by a role at a digital media agency in London, where I helped plan and coordinate Google's B2B campaigns across the EMEA region — working in an office with colleagues from 27 different nationalities, which gave me a close, practical sense of how much strength a genuinely diverse team can hold. I then led marketing and community strategy for a pan-Baltic real estate and coworking business — a role that made the connections between workplace culture, employer brand and everyday employee experience impossible to ignore.

That observation led me back to study — health behaviour and wellbeing at Tallinn University, and work psychology at TalTech — alongside a hands-on HR role at Telia focused specifically on workplace wellbeing, where I analysed employee experience data, helped launch a mindfulness programme, and supported internal communication around mental health and inclusion. It was also where I saw firsthand how organisational culture shapes employee experience — and had the chance to map what genuinely kept people at Telia: the real reasons employees stayed, in their own words. That insight fed directly into employer branding that could speak to actual strengths rather than constructed ones.

Today I work as an independent workplace wellbeing consultant, combining that research with practical organisational experience — helping leaders and HR teams turn psychosocial insight into concrete, sustainable improvements.

I'm an active member of both PARE (the Estonian HR Management Association) and ETOP (the Estonian Work and Organisational Psychology Association) — and much of what drives this work is bringing those two worlds closer together. Organisational leaders, HR practitioners, and work and organisational psychologists are often working toward the same outcome from different starting points; connecting them, I believe, is how working life actually gets better.
