This session positions mental health and wellbeing as a leadership and organisational risk issue, not just an individual concern. Drawing on his experience at Unilever and his global advocacy work, Geoff McDonald explores why mental health must be embedded into organisational strategy, culture and governance.

Delegates will gain insight into how leadership behaviours, psychological safety and purpose influence wellbeing, safety and performance - and why tackling stigma and enabling people to speak up is essential for resilient, high-performing organisations.
