Life Fulfilled Podcast — Ever wonder? “Is this all there is?”
Ever find yourself wondering, “Is this it?”
Yeah, me too. That ache for real, soul-deep fulfillment is exactly why this show exists. A richer life is closer than you think.
I’m Bernie Borges, Founder of the Fulfilled@Work Academy™ and creator of the Fulfillment Centric Leadership™ framework. Every Monday, I bring you real, practical conversations centered around the five pillars of a fully lived life:
- Health – aligning your mind and body to thrive
- Fitness – moving in ways that energize, not exhaust
- Career – loving Mondays again (or finding the courage to pivot)
- Relationships – showing up for the people who matter most
- Legacy – creating a life story you’re proud to tell
Here’s what you’ll experience:
- Honest stories from real people navigating fulfillment in real time
- Solo episodes with lessons I’m learning (and unlearning)
- Insightful guest conversations packed with takeaways you can use now
Tune in if you’re ready to:
- Replace burnout with fresh purpose
- Feel strong—in your body and in your voice
- Recharge (or reinvent) your career
- Rekindle relationships that matter
- Start building a legacy that outlasts you
No matter your age or stage, a more fulfilled life is possible.

Life Fulfilled Podcast — Ever wonder? “Is this all there is?”
Ep 237 O.C. Tanner Proves the ROI of Employee Fulfillment and Culture
Denis Beausejour joins Bernie Borges to discuss insights from O.C. Tanner’s research on how employee fulfillment directly impacts workplace culture, retention, and performance. Denis is Managing Director at the 98 year old company with a stellar reputation for employee recognition and engagement solutions.
Dennis shares insights from O.C. Tanner’s highly acclaimed Global Culture Reports, highlighting the latest trends around generative care, mental health, and the critical role of leadership in fostering employee well-being. From practical strategies like the "difference maker" campaign to real-world examples of companies excelling at employee fulfillment, this conversation is packed with actionable ideas for leaders at every level.
🗝️ 3 Key Points Discussed
1️⃣ The Six Magnets of Culture: We explored the six crucial factors that foster long-term employee retention and satisfaction—purpose, opportunity, success, appreciation, well-being, and leadership—and how they shape a truly great work culture.
2️⃣ Fulfillment vs. Engagement: The conversation clarified the nuance between simply engaging employees and actively creating fulfillment by providing growth, connection, appreciation, and ownership, especially during challenging times like the pandemic.
3️⃣ The Role of Leadership: We discussed how leaders can drive fulfillment by supporting work-life balance, building community, recognizing individual contributions, and helping align personal and professional aspirations.
Main takeaway:
Focusing on genuine fulfillment, rather than just engagement metrics, leads to thriving individuals and organizations—fulfillment is at the heart of building purpose-driven teams that get good work done.
