Spend the morning with us for an open dialogue on the new social contract between employers and employees. Through the lens of total wellbeing — and participatory activities — we'll explore why most organizations' top priority is building a workforce today that can take on tomorrow.

Join us for lively discussions covering:

• The new leadership contract: Thomas Chalmers and Russell Borland of Leading Figures in Scotland coach senior executives who want to achieve transformational results. As leaders, you’ll be inspired to enhance wellbeing in your organization.
• Building a workforce today that can take on tomorrow: A team of experts from Buck will help you think about a wide array of considerations in achieving your business goals through the wants and needs of your people.
• Total wellbeing solutions for employees: Tackle tough business challenges like: "How do we attract/retain the best talent?", "How do we motivate employees to take action?", and "How can we improve employee outcomes?" through a problem-solving activity.
• Panelist discussion: Join a group of your peers to discuss what total wellbeing means to organizations and how to successfully implement programs that benefit your people.
