Crossing Boundaries with a Mission from Melbourne to Africa

Invitation Wellbeing at Work Summit - South Africa

Crossing Boundaries with a Mission

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:

🔹 Recognise trauma as a systemic issue
🔹 Use the 5-phase model of post-traumatic growth 
🔹 Embed wellbeing into leadership and policy
🔹 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
