This practical session is based on the principles of human-centred design. Wellbeing is seen as an increasingly crucial part of business success, but it’s not enough to simply support people in a scattergun way. Instead, we need to build it into the fabric of our businesses - and this starts with a strong wellbeing strategy.

Join us for this practical session, using our Wellbeing Strategy CanvasTM and leave the session with a quick plan of action to help embed wellbeing in your business, along with lots of ideas of how to bring this to life.

From Yoga classes to mindfulness breaks, everyone's talking about it and plenty of companies are now offering these services to their employees but why are these activities important as preventative measures and how can we get engagement. 

Join Aletheia who shares insights and case studies from the work of Founded Wellness along with Laila Datoo from a life more mindful.  

Join us for this panel conversation about supporting employee mental health, in particular adjusting to working life post lockdown and the future of the workplace. The session will focus on the Mental Health impact post Covid-19 and how employee mental health awareness and needs may have evolved.

We start our final day together with this inspiring story from our  special guest Ben Bowers who leave us with a dose of inspiration for facing adversity, building resilience and making physical and mental wellbeing a number one priority.

Ben was hit with a cancer diagnosis at 26. He lost a testicle then and was again struck down with the disease 3 years later. Surgery and chemotherapy broke Ben physically and mentally but thankfully is now Cancer free.

Ben talks about his experiences, how he found a way through the adversity both mentally and physically, making major life and career changes and how he self-manages his mental wellbeing. He shares inspiration and methods that anyone can apply to their own lives no matter who they are to improve their mental health, build resilience and create a better life balance. Through his experiences, there have been some very dark times but also plenty to laugh about too,

Diversity and inclusion are crucial elements when considering the happiness, wellbeing and sense of belonging for your employees. Join our guest speakers who discuss how we can create organisations that are equipped with inclusive leadership skills, inclusive mindsets and inclusive processes in place to understand and accommodate the individual needs all employees.

The year 2020 has been monumental on so many scales. One thing in particular it has had a huge impact on is how we address and tackle wellbeing in the workplace. The pandemic has contributed to the elevation of the topic and not only that but also to the transformation of the wellbeing leader role. As we have started to see in organisations of every size, the accountabilities, role descriptions, expectations, etc., have all started to shift as more has started to fall on the laps of wellbeing leaders. In essence this is all a great and positive shift, however the challenge that exists is that there is no roadmap or tell all guide to support the success of these leaders.

In this session join Arti Kashyap-Aynsley, Award winning global wellbeing leader, as she breaks down key success strategies to help navigate this highly elevated and impactful role.
