Wellbeing @ Work Summit ANZ 2021

We’re so excited! The fourth annual ANZ Wellbeing @ Work Summit is taking place 14-16 September 2021 and our theme this year is Establishing Wellbeing as a Strategic Priority.

A three-day, integrated in-person and virtual experience that will bring together and share insights, experience and wisdom with senior HR, Reward, Wellbeing, Benefit and Business leaders who are driving the wellbeing agenda in their organisations. We will all re-connect again!

All of the Wellbeing @ Work Summits are focused on making wellbeing and mental health a strategic priority, and to deliver insights, guidance and access from leading employers and experts from across Australia, New Zealand and the world.

Thank you all for an amazing, insightful experience packed with interesting, relevant and thought provoking information. I loved the online platform, the chance to connect, the music and the energy of the online experience, very professional with great speakers!
