The Agenda

What’s on The Workplace Wellbeing Agenda?

The 2026 National Workplace Wellbeing Conference is built around The New Standard of Leadership and the real challenges leaders are facing right now. It brings wellbeing and performance into the same conversation with evidence, practical application, and lived experience.

Across two days, the conference will explore six core leadership capabilities. Sessions will combine keynote insights, facilitated workshops, and table-based collaboration to translate learning into action.

Step into two days of practical insight, progressive thinking, and leadership capability you can apply immediately. Register now and be part of the conversation redefining performance and wellbeing.

Why Leadership Must Change

The New Standard of Leadership

Traditional leadership models are no longer enough for today’s workplaces.

Pressure is higher. Teams are stretched. Expectations keep rising, yet the old models of leadership still rely on endurance, hierarchy, and pushing harder. That gap is costing organisations performance, retention, and people.

The New Standard of Leadership recognises that performance and wellbeing are not exclusive to the other. They are interdependent drivers of sustainable results.

This conference explores the six leadership capabilities now required to lead effectively in modern organisations.

These capabilities form a new baseline for leadership. They reflect what organisations now need from leaders to reduce burnout, improve retention, and maintain performance over time.

If leadership does not evolve, the costs will continue to rise. Together, we will close that gap.

Two Days that Change How You Lead

This is a two-day, evidence-led conference built around application.

Across both days, the agenda is structured to help leaders think clearly, engage deeply, and leave with tools they can use the next day.

You can expect:

Facilitated workshops after each keynote to apply ideas to real workplace scenarios

Short, focused keynotes that introduce each leadership capability without long lectures

Table-based collaboration where leaders work through shared challenges with peers

Time to reflect and integrate, rather than rushing from session to session

Practical frameworks and tools that can be taken back into teams immediately

The pace is deliberate. Less passive listening. More guided thinking and discussion.

The experience is structured, calm, and human. Space to step out of reactivity, sharpen judgement, and build leadership capability that holds performance and wellbeing together.

The Changes You Can See in Your Own Organisation

When the principles from the conference are applied, early shifts tend to emerge in how leadership operates across the organisation.

Within 90 days, many organisations begin to notice:

Clearer leadership decisions,

with less rework caused by misalignment or reactive responses

Fewer people issues escalating to HR

as concerns are addressed earlier at team level

More consistent performance across teams,

even during periods of pressure or change

Stronger retention signals,

even during periods of pressure or changeincluding improved engagement and reduced intent to leave

Better workload management and role clarity,

easing pressure points that often contribute to burnout

Less reactive leadership behaviour,

supporting calmer communication and steadier decision-making

Wellbeing reflected in everyday leadership behaviour,

rather than treated as a separate initiative

Leadership time and energy are used more deliberately, creating space for sustained performance and wellbeing.

Real Experiences. Real Impact.

About Us

Who is WPWI?

The Workplace Performance and Wellbeing Institute is an Australian organisation focused on workplace wellbeing and performance.

We work with leaders and organisations to reduce burnout, strengthen culture, and improve performance in ways that are practical, evidence-led, and commercially sound. Our work sits with CEOs, HR and People leaders who understand that wellbeing and performance cannot be separated.

Drawing on behavioural science, organisational psychology, and lived leadership experience, WPWI turns wellbeing into a measurable part of how work is led, decisions are made, and performance is sustained.

The National Workplace Wellbeing Conference brings this work together, creating space for leaders to recalibrate how leadership shows up and what it enables inside their organisations.

Time to Lead Differently

Ready to recalibrate your leadership approach?

If you are leading people under pressure and want a clearer, more sustainable way forward, this conference is for you.

Join leaders from across Australia for two days of evidence-led insight, practical capability building and meaningful connection.

Questions About Australia’s Leading Wellbeing and Performance Conference

Who is this conference for?

This conference is for leaders carrying real responsibility. CEOs, founders, directors, HR and People & Culture leaders, and senior managers who influence how work gets done. It is particularly relevant for organisations with around 50–100 people, where leadership decisions have a direct impact on performance, retention, and risk.

It is relevant for both. The content is deliberately positioned to speak to commercial outcomes and leadership capability, not HR initiatives in isolation. CEOs and senior leaders will gain clarity on performance, risk, and decision-making. HR and People leaders will gain practical ways to support leaders and embed wellbeing into how work actually operates.

This is not a wellness event and it is not motivational theatre. The focus is on leadership behaviour, systems, and decisions that shape performance and wellbeing together. Every session connects back to how leaders show up under pressure and what that means for results, culture, and retention.

You will leave with a clearer leadership lens, practical frameworks, and tools you can apply immediately. Many attendees report clearer decision-making, stronger boundaries, better conversations with their teams, and a more sustainable way of leading without relying on burnout or constant reactivity.

Very practical. Sessions combine short, focused keynotes with facilitated workshops and table-based discussion. The emphasis is on application, not information overload. Leaders work through real scenarios and leave with actions they can take back into their organisations the next day.

It means moving away from leadership models built on endurance, hierarchy, and pushing harder. The new standard focuses on six practical leadership capabilities that allow leaders to hold performance and wellbeing together, especially under pressure. These capabilities directly influence decision quality, culture, retention, and long-term performance.

Wellbeing is treated as a leadership input, not an add-on program. The conference explores how stress regulation, emotional intelligence, culture systems, and clarity of purpose directly affect performance outcomes. The message is simple: performance suffers when wellbeing is ignored, and leaders play a central role in both.

The content suits experienced leaders as well as those stepping into greater responsibility. It does not assume a specific leadership style or background. What matters is that you lead people, make decisions, and operate under pressure.

Yes. Team attendance is encouraged and often delivers the strongest impact. Shared language and understanding make it easier to apply the learnings back at work. Group discounts and team booking options are available.

Because it addresses the real costs leaders are already carrying, rework, burnout, disengagement, and reactive decision-making. Two focused days create space to step out of constant pressure, recalibrate leadership approach, and build capability that saves time, energy, and people risk in the months that follow.

Yes. Invoices can be issued for individual tickets or team bookings if your organisation requires it for approval or payment.Please contact the WPWI team via email (admin@wpwi.org) and we’ll arrange it for you.
