Employer Engagement
Mental Health in the Workplace
Our second Conwy Business Networking Event took place in January 2025 at St George’s Hotel, Llandudno, with a focus on Mental Health in the Workplace.
Over xxx businesses and organisations joined us to explore why employee mental health and wellbeing must be a top priority.
Insightful presentations from RCS, Healthy Working Wales, and Conwy Mind highlighted key facts, including:
- Poor mental health costs UK employers £51 billion annually.
- For every £1 invested in employee wellbeing, businesses see an average return of £4.70 in improved productivity.
- Presenteeism - where staff work while unwell - costs organisations around £24 billion each year.
- On average, 18.6 sick days per year are linked to anxiety and depression.
We also welcomed Perkbox/Vivup as guest speakers to share how their Wellbeing and Employee Assistance Programme supports staff and boosts workplace morale.
Recruitment Open Day
We partnered with Llandudno Snowsports Centre to deliver a tailored Recruitment Open Day, offering job seekers a unique behind-the-scenes experience at this leading attraction.
The event provided more personalised engagement between candidates and staff, creating better opportunities for applicants and helping the Centre fill its vacancies more effectively.
Due to its success, we’re planning another event early next year and we’re in talks with several other local employers to roll out similar recruitment days across the region.
