Impact in Wellbeing event '26
On 5 May we are hosting the Impact in Wellbeing event, bringing HR professionals and wellbeing leads together in the heart of Antwerp. One afternoon around one central question: how do you make mental wellbeing concrete and measurable?
Many organizations invest in wellbeing. But how do you know if it works?
Absenteeism, turnover, dropout: the signs are well known. What is less well known is how to set up prevention so that you can really demonstrate its impact, and adjust where needed. That takes clear KPIs, good follow-up and an approach that goes beyond a one-off intervention.
At this event we bring HR professionals and wellbeing leads together around one question: how do you make mental wellbeing concrete and measurable?
We do this with research findings, real-life cases and an interactive session where you get to work yourself. Not an inspiration session that ends at the door, but an afternoon that sends you home with something useful.
What you can expect
- Insights from recent research on the return on prevention: what works and what does not

Return on prevention: what does the research say?
What does investing in prevention actually deliver? David Verwimp (prevention adviser at IDEWE) gives an honest answer, with findings from two concrete studies: psychosocial tracks with a large group of clients, and ergonomic interventions at a major retailer. From these he draws insights you can apply on how to increase the chance of success, and why anchoring it in policy makes the difference.

Panel discussion: What works in practice? HR professionals on wellbeing with impact
How do you show that your wellbeing policy really works? Three HR professionals from different sectors talk about measuring impact, the KPIs that really matter, and where organizations get stuck today. A candid conversation with room for challenges and success stories.

Measuring wellbeing that counts: getting to work with KPIs
Wellbeing is on the agenda. But how do you defend it at the board table? In this interactive session you learn to translate wellbeing into concrete KPIs, leading and lagging indicators, and a business case that holds up. No theory: you work with the reality of your own organization, through fill-in exercises, breakouts and exchanges with peers. You leave the session with a concrete starting point towards less dropout and stronger retention.
