Workplace Wellbeing

Strategies and insights from All Blacks legend Keven Mealamu  with legal guidance from employment lawyer Christie McGregor 

In today’s fast-paced work environment, wellbeing is essential, not only for leading teams, but for thriving as professionals. Understanding how to manage stress, protect mental health, and navigate workplace expectations is critical at every level of business. 

Join us for a powerful lunch session featuring former All Black Keven Mealamu. Keven will be sharing insights from his time in professional rugby — the lessons learned on the field, in the changing room, and under pressure — and how those experiences have shaped the way he approaches life and business today. Tailored for all professionals in all sectors, the presentation is about resilience, mindset, and finding your compass no matter what the scoreboard says at halftime. 

He sees this point in the year as just over “halftime” — a chance to pause, reflect, and reset. For some, the first half of the year has gone well, and the focus is now on building momentum. For others, it may have been a slower start, and the goal is to find a way back into the game. 
 
Following Keven’s talk, Christie McGregor, Partner at Copeland Ashcroft, will take the mic and unpack the legal responsibilities employers hold around wellbeing and mental health. From psychosocial risk management to addressing employee behaviour and work-related stress, Christie will outline best-practice approaches and the latest developments you need to know.  Whether you lead a small team or a large organisation, this session will leave you with practical strategies to support your people and meet your legal obligations.
