Home - MAD World Summit, Mental Health And Wellbeing In The ...

Since the MAD World Summit was launched in 2018, we’ve been on a phenomenal journey. Accelerating the shift from stigma to solutions and doing our part to ensure every employer has the insights, inspiration and contacts they need to make a difference to workplace culture, mental health and wellbeing.

Many leaders now understand that it’s OK not to be OK. They also recognise that the agenda is much wider than quick fixes.

It’s about taking an inclusive, preventative approach and ensuring holistic programmes are in place that support mental, physical, financial and social wellbeing.

“Real progress also requires health and wellbeing to be embedded as business as usual, right across the organisation. As well as the provision of policies, guidance and training that underpin a strong and supportive workplace culture”.

To reflect this evolution, we’re expanding the MAD World Summit to become a FESTIVAL of workplace culture, health and wellbeing – incorporating four separate Summit events into one day – each catering to different information needs:

• The Make A Difference Leaders’ Summit – Driving excellence in workplace culture, employee health and wellbeing: Two tracks of leading-edge content, showcasing best practice in strategy and delivery, profiling thought leadership and enabling attendees to stay one step ahead in the fast-evolving world of workplace culture, employee health and wellbeing.
• The MAD Legal Industry Summit – Strategies to improve mental health and wellbeing across the legal sector: A one-day Summit bringing the different elements of the law profession together to discuss key issues and decide the best way forward to make the law a healthier profession.
• The MAD Construction Summit – Building better mental health and wellbeing across construction’s workforces: By providing best practice, toolkits and case studies, this Summit will demonstrate how organisations from across the construction sector can embed a continuous and comprehensive approach to ensure no-one reaches crisis point and mental health awareness becomes everyone’s issue.
• The MAD DE&I Summit – Creating a culture of belonging to foster equitable, inclusive and thriving workplaces: Building on the success of last year’s DE&I Symposium, which demonstrated the powerful connection between DE&I and wellbeing, we’ll be bringing together leaders to foster the collaboration that’s needed to create inclusive workplaces where all employees can thrive.
