Speakers 2: Monique Newberry and Matthew Iasiello
Why low wellbeing is a hidden cost to your organisation and how to tackle it.
Join Co-Founder of Be Well Co, Monique Newberry together with Senior Researcher, Matthew Iasiello as we explore how as leaders you can take active steps to support your own mental health and those around you.
Scientific data from over 20,000 Australians, collected by Be Well Co (part of the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute), reveals that 2 in 3 people have low wellbeing or are in distress. That’s 17 million Australians who are not coping and are at-risk of mental illness. That’s 2 in 3 people within our workplaces and communities who are often not supported until they face more serious problems.
Be Well Co exists to take to the world the leading evidence and skills to build mental health and wellbeing. Whether we face challenges in or out of the workplace, we all have a duty to support those in our care. As a leader, you too know that it is a business imperative given the proven links between wellbeing and talent retention, attraction, performance and innovation.
