The Role of Wellbeing as the Power Behind Organisational Performance

What is the association between workplace wellbeing and company performance. Beyond ROI – what are the true measures of wellbeing on performance? Where does emotional insight fit when building positive workplace cultures for business impact? What is the value of designing wellbeing programs as integrated experiences that are embedded throughout the employee journey? How can employers truly help people thrive and grow?

When Trauma Enters The Workplace

Moving beyond compliance. Discover how to transform trauma-informed leadership into a vibrant wellbeing strategy that truly connects with people and aligns with your vision, mission, wellbeing, and corporate strategy. Learn how the 5-phase model of post-traumatic growth (Dr. Edith Shiro), applied through an HR lens, can foster a stronger culture of trust, care, and resilience. Discover an 8-step strategy that bridges individual recovery and organisational design, making wellbeing both people-centred and a measurable business driver. See how linking trauma, wellbeing, and sustainability delivers tangible results — reduced absenteeism, greater trust, stronger retention — and creates workplaces where people and organisations can thrive together.

Diverse-Ability: Building Neuroinclusive Spaces

Neurotypical or Neurodiverse – The real face of diverse-ability. Competitive advantage or human advantage – should we even bother supporting the advancement of neurodiverse professionals? Change or be changed – leadership and organisational roles in enabling transitions. Lead or lag – enabling neuro-intelligence towards neuro-inclusion.

Workplace Wellbeing for All – Ensuring Belonging is at the Heart of the People Strategy

Wellbeing for all – what part does trust play in employee’s expectations of their organizations and wellbeing efforts? What part does data play as wellbeing intersects with culture? What are some examples that show why wellbeing needs to be addressed from an equity standpoint? What should be done about culture from the perspective of inter-generational workers?
