2023's Wellbeing Hero Award winner, Vikky Goodwin, takes you through the mental health initiative she set up to help frontline employees proactively engage with mental health conversations. The scheme encourages employees to react to situations at work in the same way they would in normal life, substituting work behaviours for personal behaviours and treating colleagues how they would family and friends. Learn practical and effective strategies so you can try them in your organisation.

We often use the term ‘health and safety’ but really, we only mean ‘safety’. We keep dropping our ‘H’s. And health is so integral to safety, sustainability and satisfaction! We want to get health on a par with safety – where it should be, and this session looks at how we plan to achieve this and provide examples of some specific work being undertaken at East Midlands Railway.

Vicki Marinker is a certified trainer and coach, helping professionals regain their confidence and get their careers back on track.  Her 5-Minute Wellbeing session covers topics such as beating imposter syndrome, the importance of your network and managing stress. If you need a motivational boost, you've come to the right place!

Our guests look at the challenges that modern, working women face – especially in a male dominated workforce, workplace health and safety issues which particularly affect women, and how they believe organisations can support women better during their employment.  They also share advice to young women entering the industry.

Panel discussion: supporting young people’s mental health

Young workers aged 18 to 30 are perceived to be under almost twice as much pressure in their lives as their more senior peers. They’re more likely to be worrying about debt or struggling to pay their bills, which is likely to add to their stress. Companies can and should focus on creating a more inclusive environment and be prepared to step up and support their people.

Closing the listening gap and listening effectively can create not just a safer workplace but also a culture where people can thrive and feel psychologically safe, improving wellbeing. This session covers what listening well looks like and introduces the concept of safety silence and its potential consequences. We also challenge you to think about how you hear different people and how this can affect inclusivity at work – and beyond.
