For the third year running, Lancashire Mind are hosting a conference to bring together local employers to raise awareness about the importance of wellbeing at work. The conference is an excellent opportunity to learn more about how you can support your employees to achieve and maintain good wellbeing, to learn from other Lancashire employers about their experiences of supporting their workforce and to meet a range of organisations who can provide support and assistance to help you improve wellbeing.

The Keynote Speaker is Dr Ian Fletcher, Senior Lecturer at Lancaster University, who specialises in mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. Dr Ian Fletcher has recently been working with senior leaders around psychological safety and how it can: improve employee safety, mental health and wellbeing, enhance team communications and organisational performance and increase customer, service user and public satisfaction and safety.

Barclays Bank will be sharing the ‘This Is Me’ campaign.
