Is your organisation ready to support your workforce's evolving health and wellbeing needs?

Workplace wellbeing has become a critical focus for UK employers. Recent data reveals that poor mental health costs UK employers approximately £56 billion annually, marking a 25% increase since 2019. Employees now take more time off for stress, depression, or anxiety than for any other health issue, averaging 18 days per year. Alarmingly, 85% of workers report experiencing burnout symptoms, with younger employees being the most affected. The Labour Government's proposed 'right to switch off' policy addresses work-related stress and promotes a healthier work-life balance by granting employees the right to disconnect from work communications outside of their contracted hours.

The Institute of Government & Public Policy has earned a reputation for delivering insightful and thought-provoking health and wellbeing conferences. The Annual Health and Wellbeing Conference 2026 will provide attendees with valuable insights into developing sustainable and impactful wellbeing strategies.
