Future insights for the
workplace of tomorrow

Powering healthier workplaces through prevention

Innovative therapies for life-threatening conditions make headline news, but 89% of people in the UK die from diseases which could have been prevented¹. Most of us know the lifestyle changes which will protect our health, so what can employers do to help their teams put that knowledge into action?

How knowledge can drive change

Behavourial insights is the science that spans theory, evidence and the real world to deliver profound and positive change. Dr Caroline Wood, Head of Behavioural Insights and Research at Bupa, explains how data-driven and evidence-based nudges can turn good intentions into impressive outcomes.

Building resilience using behavioural insights

Dr Naomi Humber, a Clinical Psychologist and Head of Mental Wellbeing at Bupa Health Clinics, provides practical insights on how to use behavioural insights to identify and address key health issues and make sure businesses build resilient teams that not only survive — but thrive.

Supporting the wellbeing of young talent

New research shows 72% of young professionals have struggled with poor mental health in the past year — and nine out of ten expect employers to help support their mental health². Organisations must address this wellbeing crisis if they want to attract the best talent. Farimah Darbyshire from the City Mental Health Alliance shares her advice.

High functioning anxiety

Leadership can be lonely, and sometimes success masks high performing anxiety. Dr Naomi Humber, a Clinical Psychologist and Head of Mental Wellbeing at Bupa Health Clinics, explores the dangers around using work as a coping mechanism and looks at how to achieve sustained peak performance.

Rethinking chronic mental ill-health

Glenys Jackson, Clinical Lead for Mental Health at Bupa, explains how increased awareness and support for employees with experience of chronic mental health conditions can strengthen teams and address skill gaps.

The diversity dividend

Effective equity, diversity and inclusion is both good for your people and good for your business. New data from Bupa Global shows that one in four executives believe it’s important for employee wellness and delivers business benefits. Catherine Goddard, founder of Compelling Culture, provides some practical tips to help drive your diversity and inclusion strategy.

The fastest growing demographic

What do you think is the fastest growing workplace demographic? It’s menopausal women — though the days when this time of hormonal upheaval and psychological and physiological change that could be dismissed as ‘women’s problems’ have long gone. We explore how an open dialogue is essential to supporting teams and retaining talent.

Messages that work for men

Men are notoriously less likely to talk about their physical and mental health — and this can be fatal. Three out of four UK people committing suicide are men, and this number is rising. We examine the issues and show how behavioural science can shape effective health awareness campaigns for men.
