Social Wellness in the Workplace: Designing Connection Systems
Social Wellness in the Workplace: Designing Connection Systems
As workplaces evolve, a new pillar of wellbeing is emerging: social wellness.
This event brings together People, Culture, and Workplace leaders who are actively working to improve social wellness at work. Through practical discussions, peer exchange, and hands-on exercises, we’ll explore simple, actionable ways to embed connection, purpose, and belonging into the everyday employee experience and how forward-thinking organizations can shift from wellness “perks” to building social wellness infrastructure.
Perks are no longer enough — the future workplace is built around purpose, connection, and belonging.
85% of employees reported performing better at work when there is a sense of community (Randstad, Workmonitor, 2025).
