Friday Knowledge - EU Diversity Month 2025: mental health and well-being in the workplace
May 23 @ 8:30 am - 9:30 am
How are mental health, physical activity and inclusion linked - and why is it business critical?
During this year's EU Diversity Month, we are focussing on mental health and well-being at work. A safe and inclusive workplace is a place where people feel good - both physically and mentally. In this Friday Knowledge, we explore how employers and employees can work together to create better conditions for mental health - and why it is an integral part of diversity and inclusion.
- What can employers do to promote mental health?
- How is well-being linked to diversity and inclusion?
- Which initiatives make a difference - for real?

Member example: Henrik Abraham - Communications Manager at Mestergruppen
Henrik explains how the company works to promote wellbeing in the BOLIST and XL-BYGG stores - two retail chains where the majority of employees are men. Men are generally less likely to seek help for mental health issues, which makes it important to create a work environment where it is easy to talk about how you feel. Henrik Abraham on LinkedIn
