In the UK stress accounts for 45% of lost work days, and over 1.3 million people have suffered from workplace stress (HSE). As a result, it’s more important than ever that event professionals take active steps towards their wellbeing.
It’s also vitally important that the events industry as a whole comes together with a proactive approach towards workplace wellbeing that equips professionals with the knowledge and skills to stay healthy and happy.
#EventWell aims to support this and is the event industry’s charitable social enterprise and dedicated resource for wellbeing advice, knowledge, and support.
We are here to provide an online resource centred on our charitable aims and values and advocating the wellbeing of all professionals working in events.
