As seats are limited, availability is on a first come, first serve basis. You will be informed which location you are registered for 3 days prior to the event.

About the topic

Regardless of seniority and work experience, the blurring lines between work and personal life impacts all employees. From Mercer’s study, the Healthy Minds at Work Assessment, which was conducted across in Asia in 2020, a staggering 83% of respondents indicated the need to work overtime and on rest days. Although workplace stress is expected, 61% of managers across Asia do not feel that they receive useful training to carry out their work, or support their teams. With virtual working here to stay, it is important to uncover top risk factors that contribute to workplace stress and to prioritize initiatives that can be leveraged to create a safe and healthy workplace.

In this LIVE session you can  expect to obtain key insights and learnings on:

• Why Employee wellbeing cannot be ignored any longer
• Factors that contribute to workplace stress and burnout
• How digital is shaping the wellbeing experience moving forward
• The bright spots – the role you can play in improving wellbeing at work
