CIPD in Ireland Wellbeing conference

Join us for CIPD in Ireland’s flagship Wellbeing Conference 2025, where we’ll explore ‘Wellbeing by Design’ — the intentional integration of wellbeing into how we work, lead, and measure success.

In today’s workplaces, wellbeing is business-critical. This year, we focus on moving from intention to action, with measurement and impact at the heart of every conversation. Together, we’ll explore how organisations can embed wellbeing into culture, leadership, reward, and systems — and demonstrate measurable outcomes.

Key Themes:

• Cultural integration: Making wellbeing part of your organisational DNA, aligned with strategy and values.
• Measurement matters: Setting wellbeing objectives and OKRs, using frameworks to track and drive impact.
• Digital & AI: Leveraging technology and digital mental health solutions to shape the future of work.
• Innovative practice: Learning from organisations leading real and measurable change.
• Line manager capability: Building manager and leadership skills to embed wellbeing across teams.
• Future focus: Addressing burnout, exploring neuroscience insights, and looking ahead to what’s next for workplace wellbeing.

Conference Highlights:

• Keynotes and insights from Alison Hodgson, CIPD Ireland Market Director, Meg Dunphy, HR Policy & Engagement, and leading expert practitioners.
• An interactive, expert-led workshop to collaborate, problem-solve, and apply learning in real time.
• Ample networking opportunities to connect, share ideas, and build your professional community.

This conference continues to grow as the must-attend event for HR and business leaders. Through CIPD’s evidence-based approach and ongoing research, we will explore the critical link between wellbeing, performance, and organisational success.
