Demographic shifts, new generations of employees, and the rapid transformation of the labour market are changing the way organisations attract, develop, and retain talent. At the same time, mental health, stress, and burnout are increasingly becoming business issues that directly affect productivity, employee engagement, and the long-term sustainability of organisations.

The panel will bring together perspectives from psychiatry, psychology, education, and the business sector to explore the generations entering the future of work, how their needs and expectations are evolving, and the extent to which leadership and organisational culture can influence people’s mental health. It will also focus on practical measures companies can take through prevention, skills development, and the creation of healthier working environments, as well as where individual employee responsibility ends and organisational responsibility begins.
