It's estimated that one in six people in the past week experienced a common mental health problem and since the pandemic, a large proportion of predominantly young adults have reported mental health symptoms, such as anxiety or depression, rising to over 56% in 2021.

When looking to achieve our goals in a busy environment, it's easy to neglect mental, physical, and emotional health. How could technology help an individual, in a work / educational environment, to better manage this? Alongside our friends and academic partners Code Institute, we launched our first four-day hackathon of 2022.

Last night we hosted a virtual panel discussion with three forward-thinking mental health experts to discuss ‘accelerating the future of workforce wellbeing and mindfulness', the discussion explored:

❌ Prevention before burnout

🗣 Labelling culture should be avoided to prevent alienation

🧠The power of mindfulness

🏢 Companies should design their own protocol for mental health signs and symptoms

✨ Strive for workplace flexibility and actively support employees

Listen to your staff - benefits and perks should not just be for marketing purposes

​

We would like to thank our fabulous panel Megan Wood, Maria Kuzak, Natalia Obregón and Yoni Lavi for their insights, as well as our wonderful academic partners Code Institute, with a special shout out to Jane Gormley, Jim Morel, Stefan Dworschak, Drew Browne and Megan Armstrong for your ongoing support.
