Online Global Stress & Wellbeing Summit 2025

Online Global Stress & Wellbeing Summit 2025

The Summit will be held on Wednesday 5 November. It exemplifies our 2025 theme, Optimising Employee Wellbeing through Strategic Stress Management.

Organisations thrive when their people are happy, engaged, and motivated, driving higher performance, adaptability, and long-term success. Employee wellbeing is fundamental to this, directly influencing productivity, focus, and job satisfaction. A culture that prioritises growth, support, recognition, and psychological safety is not just advantageous - it’s essential. By actively fostering and sustaining such a culture, organisations empower individuals to succeed while reaping the benefits of a healthier, more productive workforce, creating a win-win for employees and the organisation alike.

Who Is the Summit For?

The Summit programme is designed for health professionals and anyone interested in reducing stress, including mental health first aiders, counsellors, psychologists, therapists, HR advisers, coaches, trainers, and specialists in organisational change. It is also designed for business leaders and managers in the public, charity, and corporate sectors.
