As “working from home” becomes the norm, never could the topic of professional wellbeing and mental health be more important. Wellbeing programmes can benefit your business with; employee retention, reduced absenteeism, reduced presenteeism, increased productivity rates, and financial benefits.

This Summit is aimed at firms and individuals who take professional wellbeing seriously and who would like to know more about how wellbeing and mental health affect business. They may be developing or are considering developing a new wellbeing programme in light of COVID-19 workplace changes.  

The session will open with a presentation on the rights, risks and obligations of wellbeing and mental health in the workplace and will be followed by an analysis of why wellbeing pays off.  After the morning break there will be a presentation on developing a wellbeing business charter – its adoption, implementation and challenges arising for firms and practice. Subsequently, there will be an interactive panel discussion on the business case for wellbeing including industry experts and perspectives and experiences of other jurisdictions. After lunch, BlindBoy will discuss vicarious trauma, secondary trauma, stress and burnout with a special guest.
