Grief is a topic that This Can Happen is championing, and we are continuing this discussion at our upcoming June conference. In the opening keynote of the day, Jane Roques-Shaw, Global Director of Employee Experience at Dentsu, will be sharing her personal experience with grief and bereavement - and her key implications for the workplace.
Diagnosed mental ill health remains one of the final taboos to break in the workplace mental wellbeing conversation, often due to a lack of understanding or misconceptions about the challenges that these employees face. In this panel, we will spotlight a series of inspiring individuals who are living with diagnosed mental ill health, explaining how it impacts their wellbeing experience at work, and showing how employers can create a more mentally supportive and empathetic environment for them to work in.
In this 1:1 interview, we will understand how an organisation can grow and build a holistic mental wellbeing strategy, ultimately moving from singular and sporadic mental wellbeing initatives and benefits, to an overarching, year-long and nuanced plan of action.
In the UK, 1 in 5 adults experiences domestic abuse and in the last year alone, 2.4 million adults were victims (ONS). Increasingly, the workplace is becoming a psychologically safe space for employees who are living through abusive situations, which includes physical, economic and psychological abuse. In this powerful and solutions-focused session, we want to draw upon lived experience to raise awareness of the mental toll that this can take on employees, and highlight how businesses can step in and provide tangible support to these members of staff.
With the NHS overstretched in terms of resource and finance, it's more important than ever for workplaces to offer tangible support to their employees when it comes to supporting their mental health and wellbeing. In this keynote session, we will understand exactly how employers can offer mental healthcare support that helps to fill the gap between employee needs and healthcare waiting time - and what is and isn't within the workplace's remit.
In our first Awards-focused panel of the day, we will be spotlighting two contrasting entries; firstly, highlighting an entry that has successfully developed a sustainable and impactful mental wellbeing strategy year-on-year, and secondly, a workplace that has built a new strategy for the first time.

This panel discussion will highlight a range of inspiring women, speaking about their mental wellbeing challenges in the workplace, and how businesses can develop psychologically supportive environments to retain more women in the workforce.
In the penultimate session of the day, we'll understand how to effectively develop a mental wellbeing strategy that reaches and engages all members of staff across all locations - and not just those in head office or those who are at their desks all day.
AI quickly became the most talked about technology trend of 2023, and we are only at the early stages of understanding what we can do - and how it can impact us. Conversation is rapidly growing about how AI and mental wellbeing intersect, and in this future-facing closing session, we will understand the implications that the technology has upon mental health at work - and the key, tangible takeouts that employers need to be aware of.
Including Champions spotlight panel at 6:45pm.
