Join us for a small roundtable focused on the critical role of business values in fostering employee well-being and driving organisational success.  

This roundtable will explore the SUPPORT business values framework, developed through in-depth research and case studies, which outlines seven key values that underpin psychologically healthy and safe workplaces.  

Attendees are encouraged to share insights, discuss challenges, and reflect on the importance of integrating well-being into strategic business decisions. The session will explore how adopting a values-driven approach can enhance workplace culture, improve productivity, and strengthen leadership impact. 

• How do you currently incorporate your organisation’s core values into employee well-being initiatives, and what aspects of the SUPPORT framework resonate most with your leadership style? 

• What challenges do you foresee in implementing a values-driven approach, like the SUPPORT framework, in your organisation, and how might it enhance your strategic decisions related to employee well-being? 

This seminar will provide an opportunity to hear from our experts at Queen’s University Belfast and discuss specific areas of interest for you and your company, in a small group setting. 

This event will include a Q&A session after the presentation.  

Please note that this will be a small roundtable, informal event. Spaces will be limited only to CEC members and University partners, and will be allocated on a first come first served basis. 

Please RSVP by Friday 8 November to portia.ellis-woods@qub.ac.uk  indicating any special dietary requirements.
