In this session, we turn our focus to wellbeing at the board table. To better understand the views and perspective of those at the most senior levels, we’re joined by Francois Barton, Executive Director at the Business Leaders’ Health and Safety Forum.

We explore the views and concerns of those at the most senior levels when it comes to wellbeing and we review the lessons learned so far from the Covid-19 crisis.

Francois shares his insights and we discuss how we, as wellbeing leaders, can influence the wellbeing discussion at the board level to support better wellbeing across our organisations.

Francois Barton took over as Forum Executive Director in May 2015. Prior to joining the Forum Francois established and ran WorkSafe NZ’s national programme team, which has delivered major safety campaigns in construction, agriculture, forestry and manufacturing. He previously held roles at MBIE – including being involved in early discussions that led to the development of the Canterbury Safety Rebuild Charter – and at the Department of Labour, where he was part of the team that set up the Forum in 2010.
