SYD | Wellbeing at the Workplace

Creating the Conditions for People and Culture to Thrive

Workplace wellbeing is no longer just an HR initiative – it has become a strategic leadership priority.

Against a backdrop of ongoing global uncertainty, declining employee engagement, and Australia's new psychosocial hazard legislation, organisations are being challenged to move beyond awareness and create workplaces where people can genuinely thrive.

Proudly sponsored by Fisher People in Culture, this event brings together leaders, HR professionals, and workplace experts to explore practical strategies for building healthier, more resilient organisations.

Together, we will discuss:

• The current state of workplace wellbeing in Australia
• What organisational cultures enable people to thrive
• The role of initiatives such as R U OK? – and where they reach their limits
• How leaders and managers can actively support psychological wellbeing
• Practical strategies to turn insight into meaningful organisational action

Whether you are a leader, HR professional, people manager, or passionate about creating healthier workplaces, this event will provide valuable perspectives and actionable takeaways.

Join us to connect with like-minded professionals and discover how creating the right conditions for people and culture can strengthen wellbeing, engagement, and organisational performance.
