Threading through this year’s Summit’s sessions are the themes of sustainability and diversity. Both underpin the provision of all-round, inclusive wellbeing of colleagues and the creation of working conditions under which every individual can thrive.
Collaboration is key for workplace wellbeing programmes to have real impact, so we’ve designed this year’s agenda to enable you to bring colleagues from across the organisation together to agree what’s needed now and next with this crucial agenda.
