In particular, Sir JK and Dr Hillary dive into:

What is psychological safety?
As people leaders and business executives, how we can’t just help build mental health literacy and create a psychologically safe environment. How we’ve got to really start tackling the issue of workloads and make that a real focus.
Dignity in the workplace - without dignity you can't have wellbeing.
Dignity in leadership and how it is different to respect.
The importance of taking restorative breaks.
