Across 2025, we’ve taken great pleasure in producing a series of free-to-attend webinars in partnership with leading suppliers of products and services designed to create workplace cultures that support employee health and wellbeing. Across the board our focus is on what it takes to enable both organisations and their people to thrive.
These are the nine webinars that resonated most with our network.
1. Keeping Gen Z employees happy, healthy and engaged with next generation benefits
Next generation employees, such as Gen Z (those born between the mid-1990s and early 2010s) have different values and needs than previous generations, and they want their employers to understand and accommodate those needs. But this can be easier said than done. This webinar, sponsored by Hussle, and including input from Euromonitor’s Adeife Onwuzulike, BNP Paribas’ Lauren Lunniss and Curry’s Gemma Dainty is top of our most-attended webinars. You can view the webinar recording on demand here.
2. Empowering neuroinclusion
When it comes to neurodiversity, employers are increasingly switching on to the need to move beyond “reasonable adjustments” to an inclusive approach that enables everyone – regardless of their neurological makeup – to thrive. Our “Empowering neuroinclusion” case study webinar together with MatchWare showcased NatWest’s approach. You can view the webinar on demand here and also view the follow-up webinar, which included input from Acas’ Julie Dennis outlining Acas’ recommended approach to neuroinclusion here.
3. Supporting the health and wellbeing of non-desk-based workers
The pandemic showed us clearly that the day to-day operations of many sectors – such as transportation, logistics, manufacturing, and retail – depend on the essential services that non-desk-based workers provide. Supporting their health and wellbeing is more important than ever, yet employers often struggle to address the unique challenges that non-desk-based workers face on a daily basis. Tune in to the practical insights shared in this webinar together with Westfield Health, including insights from Jaguar Land Rover, Wincanton and Sir Robert McAlpine.
4. Designing evidence-based workplace wellbeing programmes
Our second webinar of the year, together with Westfield Health addressed our network’s questions around how you determine which health and wellbeing interventions your employees truly want and need. It also explored how you create a flexible programme that accommodates a diverse workforce with varied preferences, schedules, and health goals. Including input from Westfield Health‘s Kate Platts, Yorkshire Water’s Susan Gee and Euromonitor‘s Adeife Onwuzulike, you can view the webinar on demand here.
5. Bridging the gap: smarter strategies for workplace mental health
While most workplaces offer mental health support on paper, the real challenge — and opportunity — lies in delivering the right help, at the right time, to those who need it most. If you’re finding that the support available through your EAP or PMI falls short of meeting employees’ needs, you can access the recording of the webinar to understand how to address this ‘gap’. Featuring insights from Onebright’s Shamira Graham and Healix’s Russell Smith here.
6. The engagement effect: a new frontier in preventative health
In this webinar we explored how employee engagement can act as a powerful buffer against health decline, presenteeism, and disconnection. Drawing on data from YuLife’s gamified benefits platform, our expert speakers revealed how weaving wellbeing into daily culture — not just crisis response — can reduce absence, boost retention, and build a thriving workforce. You can view the webinar, including input from YuLife’s Kate Whitelock, Baringa’s Samantha Hunkin and Entain’s Jessica Fitz-John here.
7. Supporting working parents: unlocking access to mental health pathways
Poor mental health in children and young people is rising at an alarming rate – and it’s having a direct impact on working parents. With long waits for treatment – sometimes months or even years – many families are left struggling without timely help. And when a child is suffering, focusing on anything else becomes unimaginable for parents. It’s no surprise that a parent’s focus, energy, and wellbeing can be deeply affected. Find out how Lyra Health can help in this webinar.
8. Bright nights, better business: boosting engagement, health, wellbeing and productivity of nighttime workers
Shift and night workers are the hidden backbone of many organisations – yet their unique challenges are too often overlooked. Sleep disruption alone is estimated to cost the UK economy £50bn every year through lost productivity, staff turnover and accidents. For the 8.7 million people working at night, the impact on health, relationships and overall wellbeing is significant. This webinar, together with Night Club, included C-suite insights from Catherine Muirden, frontline tips from Brakes’ Jodie Mansfield and expert tips from Night Club’s Ella Reynolds and can be viewed on demand here.
9. Unlocking potential: embracing neuroinclusion
This second webinar in partnership with MatchWare honed in on best practice for employers that have recognised the need to create a neuroinclusive workplace but are looking for ideas around how to achieve this. Featuring input from Acas’ Julie Dennis and the lived experience of Rio Tinto’s Dan Curtis, as well as MatchWare’s Matthew Jones, it’s well worth tuning in to watch on demand here.
We’ll be running more webinars across 2026. If there are any particular topics that you’d like us to address, we’d love to receive your suggestions. Please email me at info@makeadifference.media.
