Mad World Leaders Summit 2025

Since launching in 2018, the MAD World Summit has been at the forefront of redefining employee health and wellbeing. In 2025, we're going even further. This year, MAD World brings together four powerful tracks in one transformative day — built to break silos, spark cross-functional collaboration, and align workplace culture, employee health and wellbeing with business strategy.

As organisations adapt to ongoing change — from economic pressure to shifting employee expectations — the focus is no longer just on why health and wellbeing matters, but on how to make it work as a strategic lever for engagement, growth and performance. Senior leaders across functions are now asking:

• How do we move from fragmented efforts to integrated strategy?
• How do we focus on delivering measurable outcomes and ROI?
• How do we design work to support people — and enable performance?

"From strategic insights to practical takeaways, sessions are carefully curated to help you navigate uncertainty in an increasingly volatile world, support your people more effectively, and unlock their full potential—now and into the future".

Claire Farrow, Global Head of Content, Make A Difference

• Debate: Employee health and wellbeing – strategic imperative, moral mandate or both?
