The 2016 Mental Health at Work Report highlights the concerning fact that 77% of employees have been affected by poor mental health in the last year, with 4 in 5 of these attributing their symptoms directly to work. Even those unaffected would not disagree that a positive mental state, both our own and that of those around us, is essential for delivering peak performance in the workplace.

This session will aim to break the silence of the taboos and stigma that currently exist around mental performance and enlighten the audience with different perspectives, practices and priorities to ensure the collective strength of our working wellbeing in the future.
