A leading future-of-work researcher is set to explain how changing expectations are impacting how we think of workplace wellness at this year’s HR + L&D Innovation and Tech Fest in Sydney in November.
Libby Sander says employers need to avoid the trap of paying lip service to wellness without examining company culture.
Libby Sander is an internationally renowned expert on work and the workplace, the MBA Director and Assistant Professor of Organisational Behaviour at Bond University. She is interested in how we can reimagine work to live more meaningful and creative lives. She has spoken at TEDx, is an Agenda Contributor at the World Economic Forum, and this November at HR + L&D Innovation and Tech Fest, Libby will address Surviving to Thriving: Employee Wellbeing in a New Landscape of Work.
“If we think about employee wellbeing, it’s not just ‘Are you not feeling sick? Are you feeling capable of doing your job?’
“We’ve heard a lot of talk lately about presenteeism – how many companies are pressuring people to come back to the office just for that base time – that is very relevant. We know that being at work and not feeling at your best has significant implications.
“So, when we talk about wellbeing, we’re talking about the entire person and everything that contributes to them being able to be at their best. So, it’s physical, it’s mental, it’s social, it’s emotional.”
Libby Sander will be at the HR + L&D Innovation and Tech Fest over 8-9 November at ICC Sydney.
