Tickets are now available for a workplace wellbeing conference on November 30th that’s
sponsored by Zurich on the Isle of Man.
Taking the baton from public health, the conference is being organised by some members of our very own Positive Health & Wellbeing forum with a focus on being delivered by our members for our members to showcase the amazing array of services we have on our Island to support positive health & wellbeing in the workplace.
This year’s conference will be on the theme of ‘It takes an Island’. This reflects Chamber’s and the Positive Health and Wellbeing Forum’s view that the conference will benefit all employees and employers by giving them the tools they need to make positive changes to the culture of their workplaces.
Tickets for the full day cost £55+VAT and eventbrite fees for members and £65+VAT and eventbrite fees for non members

The conference will begin with a leadership breakfast from 8am to 9am featuring a
keynote speaker from Zurich, the event’s lead sponsor. Events later in the day will include workshops covering topics such as creating a wellbeing toolkit, advice tailored to help employers and employees, plus discussions about how promoting positive health and wellbeing can be the key to unlocking the full potential of any business or organisation. DE&I (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) is an important topic in any conversation about best practice for employers, so this will also be covered in the context of how it applies to workplace health and wellbeing.
Public Health Isle of Man’s Workplace Wellbeing Group organised an annual conference from 2016 until the last event in 2022. Chamber’s Positive Health and Wellbeing Forum has now taken up the baton to continue to provide an annual focus to promote best practice regarding these important issues.
Nigel Simpson, Head of International Markets at Zurich on the Isle of Man, commented: “We are delighted to support this event as lead sponsor because workplace wellbeing is at the heart of our business, both locally and globally. It is part of our ethos as an employer, and in terms of our thinking when developing products for customers. As a leading provider of employee benefits solutions, we understand that the expectations of employees in all sectors is changing – and, in turn, this is reshaping the way in which employers need to evolve in order to recruit and retain the best people. In this context where the workplace wellbeing landscape is rapidly changing, we warmly welcome Chamber’s decision to ensure that the Isle of Man continues to have an annual focal point for this important topic.”
