Wellbeing strategy has changed more in the last five years than in the previous twenty. So why does it still feel like you're guessing what good actually looks like? This session puts wellbeing strategy on trial. We'll go back to 2016 and look at what we got right and wrong, hold today's strategy up to the same scrutiny, and work out what has to be true by 2030 if wellbeing is going to survive the next decade of how we work. An honest interactive look at where most organisations actually sit, and what it takes to close the gap between good intentions and a strategy that's genuinely built in, not bolted on. Come with an opinion about what's working in your organisation. Leave with a clearer read on what's not.

In this one-hour private workshop, leaders will experience a new way to understand mental wellbeing through fast, objective, non-invasive measurement. Using the Psyray device and app, we'll demonstrate how a five-minute brain scan generates a Wellbeing Index across seven key life topics — and a report that also serves as a strong basis for coaching. We'll also show how organisations can apply these insights to drive smarter decisions on prevention, performance, and long-term workforce sustainability, positioning mental wellbeing as a measurable, strategic foundation for the future of work.

Right now, many organisations are asking for more from line managers around health and wellbeing than ever, often without clear boundaries, consistent standards, or the capability to deliver. This workshop is designed to tackle that challenge head on. We’ll discuss: What ‘good’ looks like in practice - What managers should and shouldn’t be responsible for - How to build capability without adding to manager burden and recent case studies from large organisations. Giving you actionable insights and approaches to take back to your organisation immediately.

Preventing illness in the workplace isn’t new. But as workplace health risks rise and costs increase, the picture is becoming more complex. Offering practical and actionable steps, this session, led by Vitality’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr Harpreet Sarna, will examine how, if done properly, a truly preventative approach doesn’t just keep employees in better health and more productive but can also deliver significant ROI. The solution is not just standalone wellbeing initiatives (or many), it’s an integrated end-to-end approach focused on early risk detection, timely intervention and clear navigation into the right support where needed.

This session explores how organisations can shift from reactive fixes to preventative approaches that spark meaningful wellbeing conversations. Using real examples of culture change that genuinely lasts, we’ll show how leaders can embed trust, clarity and psychological safety into everyday behaviour. We’ll also highlight how courageous conversations connect wellbeing, inclusion and productivity, creating workplaces where people thrive and performance strengthens. This is a practical, forward‑looking exploration of what it takes to build cultures that work for humans first and organisations always.
