Feed Your Mind 2026: Work Bites with Professor Karina Jorritsma

What if work and the systems that shape it were designed to protect mental health and help people thrive?

Work Bites: Designing work where people thrive

Most organisations respond to mental health challenges only once people are already struggling. But what if the work itself – and the systems that shape it – were designed to protect mental health and help people thrive?

Join Professor Karina Jorritsma from the Future of Work Institute (FOWI) as she shares the behind-the-scenes story of Thrive at Work, an evidence-based initiative that helps organisations move beyond reactive wellbeing programs to redesign work in more sustainable and mentally healthy ways.

Drawing on research and implementation across diverse industries, this event explores how research can be translated into practical solutions – reducing psychosocial risks and supporting performance without adding complexity to already busy workplaces.
