RSVP Required to attend!
-----------------------------
Workplace Unfiltered is a bold new space where empathy meets accountability, and leadership meets real life. This experience is more than an event, it’s a chance to step inside an honest, high-impact night where the culture of work is reimagined through mental wellbeing, vulnerability, story, and data-backed insight.
Hosted by Heliona Insight Podcast, the platform dedicated to socializing mental health in the workplace. This immersive evening brings together people-first leaders, mental health advocates, HR & Benefits leaders, researchers, and executives to make one thing clear:
We can do work differently. And it starts with telling the truth.
This event is for you if:
- You’re a people leader, HR professional, therapist, or changemaker
- You’re tired of surface-level conversations about mental health
- You believe vulnerability belongs in leadership
- You’re building or rebuilding a workplace that puts people first
