Wellbeing at Work

Tuesday 5 July 2016, Central London

“There’s no question that workplace wellness is worth it. The only question is whether you’re going
to do it today or tomorrow. If you keep saying you’re going to do it tomorrow, you’ll never do it.
You have to get on it today.” Warren Buffett

A one-day seminar from The At Work Partnership designed to give you the knowledge and understanding to introduce a new workplace wellbeing programme into your organisation, or to enhance existing strategies.

Chaired by Dr John Ballard, Occupational Health [at Work]
