👏 That’s a wrap on the second edition of our OpenUp HR Summit! Over the past few days, we’ve explored workplace well-being, sparking new ideas and strategies to take forward. Here are our top takeaways of yesterday's final session with James, Merel, Marta, and Emma: 💡 Tailor Well-being Initiatives to Personas: Well-being is not one-size-fits-all. Creating personas based on age, gender, and nationality helps target specific interventions that work best for different employee groups. 💡 Trust is Key: Transparency about how survey data is used is vital. Building trust ensures employees feel secure in sharing their true feelings, especially across different cultures. 💡 Managers as key drivers: By fostering psychological safety and leading by example, managers create supportive environments. Their insights are crucial for measuring well-being and identifying team needs in real-time. A huge thank you to all our speakers, hosts, and attendees for making this Summit a success! Let’s keep the conversation going. 💚

On Day 4 of our HR Summit, we’ll dive into "Measuring Mental Well-being at the Workplace." Join Merel Soree, James Owen Lewis and Marta Montesdeoca Romero to uncover key insights on how to track and improve employee well-being through data and metrics. 📊 What you can expect: 💭 Unlocking mental well-being insights to boost employer branding, productivity, and retention 💭 Using data to create tailored well-being programs that align with your business goals 💭 Measuring success and proving ROI to secure leadership buy-in for long-term well-being initiatives Will we see you there? 🫵 #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #HR #Workplace

🔥 Day 3/4 of the OpenUp HR Summit was packed with valuable insights! Here are our top 3 takeaways from yesterday's session on "The Role of Managers in Workplace Well-being": 🗣️ Empathy Over AI: While AI is poised to take over more routine tasks, the human side of management will become even more important. Managers need to listen carefully, show empathy, and engage in meaningful conversations with their teams, emphasising the importance of emotional intelligence and personal connection. 🗣️ Supporting Young Managers: Younger or newly promoted managers often face challenges in balancing performance goals with well-being responsibilities. They must be trained to handle these conversations and given the space to self-reflect, learn from peers, and receive support. 🗣️ Impact of Personal Life Events: Managers play a vital role in supporting employees during significant personal life events, such as childbirth or relationship issues. These moments are critical for building trust. A manager's involvement during such times has a long-lasting impact on the employee’s overall well-being and sense of belonging in the workplace. Big thanks to our incredible speakers Katja, Bas, Marta, and our fantastic host Emma! 🙌 Will you join us again this afternoon for our very last session of this year's HR Summit?

Mental Health Day – a reminder to check in with ourselves and those around us. 💚 Our minds deserve care just as much as our bodies.

Let’s break the silence, lift each other up, and keep mental well-being at the heart of what we do – today, and every day. 💬 #MentalHealthDay #MentalWellbeing #Support #TakeCare

Day 2/4 is in the books! 🌟 Below are our top 3 learnings from yesterdays “How to Promote the Well-being of Non-Desk Workers” session at the OpenUp HR Summit! 1️⃣ Tailored Well-being - Non-desk workers have unique needs, especially physical ones, so well-being programs must be adapted to their specific roles and regional demands, promoting resilience before busy seasons. 2️⃣ Normalise Mental Health Conversations - Breaking the stigma around mental health is crucial, with managers leading open discussions. Early, consistent efforts to integrate well-being into the culture are key. 3️⃣ Effective Communication Channels - Reaching non-desk workers requires using multiple channels (events, apps, offline) and repeating key messages. It’s essential to find the best communication method for different employee groups. A huge thank you to our speakers Josanne, Sophie, Jeroen, our host Emma and all our attendees! Will we see you again at today's session? 💚 #HR #LeadershipDevelopment #MentalHealth #Wellbeing

HR Summit: Day 1/4 ✅  Yesterday’s first session of the OpenUp HR Summit brought some amazing insights on mental well-being in hybrid and remote workplaces! Here are the top 3 things we learned: 💡Trust over visibility - In remote work, trust your employees to deliver results without micromanaging. Visible work doesn't always mean productive work – it's the impact that matters. 💡Purpose-driven connection - In remote teams, it’s crucial to help each other connect to the bigger mission. Open communication, like "open mic" sessions, keeps everyone focused on the shared goals. 💡 Structured flexibility - A 4-day work week can boost productivity and work-life balance, showing that less can truly be more when done right. Thanks to our speakers Marieke, Selina and Emma and all our engaged participants! Are you ready for more this afternoon? P.S.
