Over the last five years, this panel series has focused on driving the mental health conversation forwards. We specifically focus on workplace and employer culture, rather than on reactive crisis response in the workplace. This year’s panellists will explore the relationship between mental wellbeing, performance and employment.

• Karen Jackson, Chair of our panel discussion and Managing Director at didlaw
• Tom Cross, Chartered Performance Psychologist experienced in Private Equity, Foreign Office, Olympic & Professional Sport and FTSE 100/250
• Jay Muthu, Director of Organisation and People Capability at Entain Group
• Jen Smith,Director of Inclusion for the British Film Institute (BFI)
• Nathan Clements, Chief People Officer at SSP Group
• Lauren Chiren, Founder of Women of a Certain Stage, specialising in Menstruation & Menopause at Work training, executive coaching and speaking

Topics include:

• Individual and organisational resilience
• The connection between mental wellbeing and future workplaces

Naturally, the challenges of the pandemic will be a thread throughout, as will the concepts of kindness, humanity and the importance of human conversations.
