MENTAL health charity, Lancashire Mind, has confirmed keynote speakers and current themes for its fifth annual Wellbeing at Work Conference to support positive workplace mental health and wellbeing.
Held virtually on Thursday 3 February, businesses are invited to hear keynote speakers challenge stigmas around mental health within the workplace, share best practice and address key mental health themes.
Expert speakers include Dr Paula Holland, senior lecturer in public health at Lancaster University; Emma Mamo, head of workplace wellbeing at national mental health charity, Mind; and Sarah Jane Cale of Positive Menopause.
Tommy McIlravey, Lancashire Mind said: “Workplace mental health has never been more important. Understanding the current state of your workforce’s health and wellbeing is absolutely vital in protecting staff productivity, retention and overall staff engagement.
“This year’s annual conference will explore how best to connect virtual teams, forge new hybrid working practices, encourage mindfulness exercises and highlight key mental health themes for 2022.
“Lancashire Mind believes all colleagues of all seniorities deserve to have access to mental health and wellbeing support. We are encouraging businesses across the county to make 2022 the year of prioritising mental health within the workplace.”
