Hear from wellbeing leaders on what’s working and what’s next
If you’re challenged with improving employee wellbeing at a time of rapid disruption, isolation and limited resources, then join for this unique event that takes you under the hood of top companies and their wellness initiatives.

We’ll cover all aspects of workplace wellness: mental health, financial, physical, emotional, social and financial wellbeing. This is a one-day, fast-paced and highly invigorating experience where you’ll come away with dozens of takeaways and meet new people in the same boat as you – but different oars!
You will get:

The conference features workshops on the first day and an opening reception. Then, back for day two, which is packed with workshops and networking events throughout the day.

What’s working and what’s not in wellness? Hear the latest trends and developments that will set you up for success.
Discover how one company has cracked the code on wellness by listening to its employees and keeping an ear to the ground globally. Its impactful, wide-ranging wellbeing programs tackle everything from mental and physical health to occupational safety and employee inclusion. You’ll learn how they identified the programs that would yield measurable results – and engaged employees to actually use them.
Does your business invest in wellness resources that go unused by employees because they are time-crunched, unsure of what’s available or worried about stigma? Hear how one company’s investment in technology increased participation in a wide range of programs and allowed the company to recognize what programs were being underutilized on a global scale. Learn how a brand has cracked the code and keeps its employees engaged and proselytizing its brand worldwide.
Hear how a large financial provider is actively listening to employees, responding and iterating with successful, measurable programs that involve HR, communications, risk management and other departments. Learn how your workplace can be transformed into a safer, more vibrant culture and what you need to do about the permanent WFH employees to keep them informed and engaged.
We’ll gather in small groups to brainstorm a hot topic with your table mates and share best practices and ways to rise to the challenge. In the afternoon, one designated representative from each table will share the findings around your topic with the audience. Topics will include employee burnout, change communications, campaigns and contests, remote work, budgeting and measurement.
Discover how an educational institution has destigmatized mental health issues among staff with new programs, ongoing initiatives and more, and has created a culture of change around well-being with mental health at the core. Learn new techniques to reduce employee burnout and social isolation.
Are you communicating your initiatives with content that is engaging, inclusive and informative? Learn the best practices in internal communications to boost interest, participation and results.
If you build it, will they come? Often the answer is no. Hear from one company how they’ve boosted employee participation in their well-being initiatives by leveraging data, lessons learned and collaboration among departments to meet employees where they’re at mentally, physically and socially.
Make new friends, mingle with colleagues and enjoy delicious fare.
As many employees continue to work from home while others never left the physical workplace, how do you ensure your wellness programs are touching all areas of the workforce? Hear strategies and tactics for communicating with your dispersed employee base.
As staff demand more from their employers, it’s key to understand, test and measure your wellness programs and get creative. Hear from a top PR agency on their strategies to attract and retain employees. Get the skinny on benefits, contests and programs that have stood the test of time, and those that haven’t.
Who are the internal champions in your organization and how can you get them to proselytize your wellness programs? From Employee Resource Groups to formal ambassador programs, learn how to craft and execute impactful programs in which your employees are the agents of change.
Hear about the latest tools, technology and services to help you elevate your wellbeing programs, including digital workplace tools, mobile apps, financial well-being, measurement dashboards, coaching services, rewards programs and more.
Discover how a top automobile company cuts through the clutter in multiple divisions by working directly with leadership, people managers, teams and individuals to gain more support and budget for wellness.
Generational diversity and inclusion play a significant role in program rollout – from the offerings to the technology to societal aspects. We’ll examine a multitude of employee benefits, including flexible hours, increased PTO, perks and rewards, work/life balance, workplace models, mental health screenings, and financial guidance. We’ll also look at ways to engage employees at every stage of their health, lives and careers.
This session will be your cup of tea as we share the key takeaways from the table topics from earlier in the day.
Gather in the lobby as we head to a local restaurant to dine with fellow participants.
