Gillespie Recruitment are excited to be hosting “Wellbeing Doesn’t Have to Be Boring: Rethinking Corporate Wellness” on Tuesday 17th February 2026 at the North East BIC.
We’ll be joined by a fantastic guest speaker, Kelly Brougham, from Active Families North East, an award-winning organisation recognised for its real, honest approach to community wellbeing.
This refreshing, down-to-earth session will explore:
✨ A real-world look at why traditional “tick-box” wellbeing often falls flat
✨ Small, realistic changes that boost staff morale and energy
✨ Real-world insights from working closely with communities facing wellbeing barriers
✨ Practical, human, inclusive ideas you can take back to your workplace straight away
Expect optional interactive elements (all seat-based!), relatable examples, and plenty of takeaways your teams can use immediately.
This session is perfect for organisations looking to build a more supportive, energised and people-focused workplace culture.
If you want to rethink how wellbeing really looks in your organisation, this is one not to miss.
