Future of Work Circle: Shaping a culture of mental well-being
Mental health and well-being are no longer just personal concerns - they are essential for building strong, sustainable workplaces. However, many organizations struggle to go beyond surface-level initiatives and truly support their employees in a meaningful way. What does it take to create a culture where well-being is fully embedded in the way we work, lead, and collaborate?
This panel will explore how businesses can foster lasting well-being while addressing mental health on multiple levels. Our experts will discuss both theoretical insights and practical strategies for preventing burnout, promoting resilience, and integrating tools like mindfulness, positive psychology, and even humor to create a workplace where individuals can genuinely thrive.
