This conversation was recorded on 23 May 2025 as part of Friday Knowledge - our knowledge series on diversity and inclusion.
How are mental health, movement 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.
