Boosting human performance is no longer a luxury. Post-pandemic, mental ill health related issues are increasingly becoming an issue that organisations face.

Can wellbeing initiatives bring real world results?

Many business leaders are sceptical about today’s wellbeing initiatives. At AWA, we’ve been exploring the science behind happiness and cognitive health.

How do you transform this science into real-world results?

On the 30th of October 2024, we will be hosting an AWA Institute Summit, where we dive deep into the latest research shaping the future of work. Uncover practical strategies that leaders can use to help their teams not just survive—but thrive.

Here’s what you’ll take away:

  • Explore research on the neuroscience of human performance, providing you with actionable strategies to enhance cognitive function and resilience among your workforces.
  • Learn from experts how leading organisations are implementing neuroscience-backed techniques to boost productivity and employee well-being, ensuring your team stays ahead in a competitive landscape.
  • Explore the science behind stress management and creativity, and how these can be cultivated through targeted interventions in the workplace.
  • Engaging discussions on the future of work, and how to create spaces where peak performance becomes the norm.

* As an added bonus, all attendees will receive a Human Performance Playbook, packed with key insights and actionable strategies from the summit. This comprehensive guide will serve as a valuable resource, ensuring you can immediately apply the cutting-edge knowledge and techniques discussed to elevate your workplace’s performance long after the event.

Join us to gain a deeper understanding of how the latest research can be applied to create a thriving, high-performance workplace, and take the first step toward unlocking the full potential of your team.
