Any given gesture -a nod, a point of the finger - unconsciously communicates powerful ideas and feelings that have tangible consequences.

In this session, Steven Parker will address:

• What well-being really means for employees
• Data and insights linking employee wellness to business results
• The state of play and future trends in well-being
