Agenda

09.15 am - Registration

09.30 am - David Beeney, fighting the myths of Mental Health.

We look at how we can create a kinder culture of trust where managers feel confident to ask employees about their wellbeing knowing how this dramatically improves employee energy, productivity, engagement and results.

Learning outcomes:

  • We explore what it is like to suffer in silence with a mental health issue in the workplace
  • We improve our understanding of how employees learn to disguise their suffering
  • We look to inspire employees to be more open by saying ‘its okay not to be okay’ and to share vulnerabilities
  • We explore lots of ideas of how to create a kinder culture that drives energy levels and improves presenteeism.
  • We look at the importance of using the right language to encourage honest and open conversation about wellbeing.
  • We understand the importance of setting the tone from the top and what we mean by management education.

10.30 am - Jane Austin, HR Director of Wave.

Jane will speak about the journey that Wave have been on to create a kinder culture in their workplace and how they have achieved an award-winning wellbeing programme with little budget but huge passion.
