Wellbeing as the foundation of talent development
Wellbeing at work is not a ‘nice-to-have’ — it’s essential. Organisations that take it seriously attract and retain talent, foster engagement, and, most importantly, fulfill their responsibility towards the people who make their success possible.
Many organisations are already investing in wellbeing, but not all efforts lead to real impact. That’s because there are persistent myths about what workplace wellbeing truly is and how to nurture it. Many still see it as a perk rather than a strategic priority, or they assume it’s about quick fixes like free yoga classes or wellness apps. In reality, true wellbeing is much deeper—it’s woven into the way we work, lead, and develop talent.
In this free talk, we’ll uncover the biggest misconceptions and explore what actually helps employees grow, thrive, and bring out their best selves. Join us for an insightful session that challenges conventional wisdom and provides fresh, research-backed perspectives on what actually makes a difference.
