Chaired by Juan Moore, Director at Resolute Consultancy. Juan spent over twenty years working in the Trust and Corporate Services Sectors before taking over as CEO of the Law Society where he worked for six years. He recently established his consultancy company, Resolute Services Limited.
Juan has always had a keen interest in Mental Health and Wellbeing, not least from having experienced bad working practices during his career. At the Law Society, Juan raised mental health and wellness in his newsletter to members and, ultimately, established a Wellbeing Committee, working closely with LawCare a British Islands charity for the legal profession. Juan is a Fellow of the Chartered Governance Institute (CGI) and President of the Island’s CGI branch. He established a Wellbeing Committee for the Island Branch last year which delivers regular newsletters and CPD events to its members.
Chamber CEO, Rebecca George, said I am delighted that Chamber are now able to offer its members this soundboard to meet, collaborate, share ideas and promote the Wellbeing Sector
The Wellbeing Forum is open to all members of the Isle of Man Chamber of Commerce with an interest in this space, but we are especially keen to hear from those offering services in this area. We look forward to working with our members to promote this growing industry, in addition to supporting good mental health and wellbeing in the workplace.’
