“I currently work as an HR Business Partner. One ofthe most difficult areas for us to manage is stress, anxiety and other mental illness which unfortunatelyhas become much more widespread in the modernworld and work. We have a dedicated OccupationalHealth team who assist us with making adjustments in the workplace so we can ensure our core focus is on employee health and wellbeing. My regular attendance at this conference each year has alwaysbeen a valuable experience. I have learnt much morethan I had anticipated and met with a wealth of otherprofessionals over the last two years whom have become part of my network. I would encourage otherHR professionals to take advantage of this excellentconference and I do hope it continues to be a regularannual feature for many more years.”

”“As the UK Clinical Lead for Mondelez International, myself andmy team are regular annual attendees of this fantastic event.Understandably, we cannot all attend the complete 2 days individually as we have to continue to deliver services for ourUK workforce (circa 6000) so we review the programme oncepublished and decide which day best suits our interests/learningand development needs, then come together afterwards toshare information from our day, with lots of ‘round the table discussion. It is a hugely enjoyable learning arena and greatvalue for money. Definitely our favourite ‘go-to’ event. Fantastic CPD days and superb networking opportunity – lots of ideas, best practice and new products. It is always exceptionally well organised, with a broad spectrum of seminars, key speakers and topics that are very relevant to current practice/issues. Something for everyone.”

Stand Up and Get Active!”“As the UK Health & Wellness Manager for PepsiCoUK, I have attended the Health & Wellbeing at Work conference at the NEC. The choice of talks was vast,and I had a hard job narrowing it down! Those I did attend were really valuable for benchmarking, bestpractice, knowledge update and networking. The exhibition hall also gave me a valuable opportunity to talk to suppliers and organisations about their products and ideas, as well as to share information on what PepsiCo’s focus was in this area. A fantasticevent and well worth a visit – I will be back!”

Dame Carol BlackExpert Adviser on Health and Work, Public Health Englandand NHS England ”

“In the past few years , we have seen growing, widespread business recognition of the importance of mental health in ensuring workplace wellbeing. This is why I am giving the topic pride of place. From the contributors to this conference, it is evident that a groundswellof concerted action has brought together charitable bodies, business, professional bodies,government and the NHS, to deal with the common threats to mental health and wellbeingthat have become so familiar to working people. We see more than commitment, we seechange. We see determined action, verifiable against agreed standards. Employers now have ready access to tested initiatives, schemes that assess their commitment to support the mental health and wellbeing of their workforce. There are schemes that offer guidance,benchmarking and accreditation, schemes that include staff surveys and audit, bringing publicrecognition to employers and knowledge of how they stand. Importantly, participation offers a means of gathering much needed evidence of the effectiveness of interventions and the return on investment in realising the commitments that have been made.”
