From Melbourne to South Africa: Carrying the Mission of Sustainable Wellbeing after Trauma

Crossing Boundaries with a Mission: Sustainable Wellbeing After Trauma

When trauma enters the workplace, we can’t improvise.
We need a foundation to build on — one rooted in care, presence, and systems that don’t collapse when people do.

After my time at the Wellbeing-at-Work-summit Melbourne, where I had the honour of hosting the workshop “When Trauma Enters the Workplace — We Need a Foundation to Build On”, my journey continues. And so does my mission.

I’m deeply grateful and proud to share that I will also be speaking at the Wellbeing at Work-summit- South Africa, taking place virtually on 13 November 2025 (Summit agenda).

Why This Matters

Too often, trauma in the workplace remains unspoken.
We see the consequences — burnout, absenteeism, broken trust — but not always the root causes.

My goal is to help organisations move beyond symptom management.
To support cultures where trauma is acknowledged, spoken about, and structurally addressed within a sustainable wellbeing strategy.

Not just as a reaction to crisis — but as a strategic, conscious choice.

What I will share at the Summit

Together, we’ll explore how organisations can:

๐Ÿ”น Recognise trauma as a systemic issue
๐Ÿ”น Use the 5-phase model of post-traumatic growth 
๐Ÿ”น Embed wellbeing into leadership and policy
๐Ÿ”น Align trauma care with ESG and business strategy

I’m thankful to Wellbeing at Work for offering me this platform to bring trauma-informed leadership to the global conversation.

Let’s Build the Future of Work — Together

Whether you’re an HR leader, a wellbeing strategist, or a compassionate colleague, let's connect, learn and grow  - wherever you are in the world; I would like to meet you in person or online at 
the Wellbeing at Work - Summit - Melbourne or register for the free online Summit - South Africa on 13 November 2025.

Let’s shape workplaces where trauma doesn’t stay in the shadows.
Where wellbeing becomes not just a policy — but a living culture of care.
Where people and performance thrive, side by side.

Hope to see you soon!

Warm regards, 

Annick Rogiers
