KEYNOTE

The Conditions Advantage

Most organisations are investing in wellbeing. Few are designing the conditions that actually matter.

About this keynote

Morning teas, yoga sessions, EAP programs, and resilience workshops. Organisations are spending more on wellbeing than ever before, and getting less back than they hoped. This keynote exposes the illusion at the heart of most workplace wellbeing strategies: that initiatives can fix what conditions created. Drawing on real-world evidence and systemic thinking, Amy explores why wellbeing cannot be layered onto broken systems, unclear expectations, and unsustainable workloads, and what it actually takes to design workplaces where people can feel, work, team and lead well.

What your audience will walk away with

Understand why wellbeing investment keeps rising while burnout, disengagement, and workload pressure rise alongside it.
Identify the illusion, how surface-level initiatives create the appearance of care without addressing the conditions underneath.
Explore what the research actually tells us about what makes people feel well, safe, and capable at work.
Discover how to shift from a program mindset to a design mindset, and what that looks like in practice for leaders and organisations.
Leave with a clear framework for auditing and redesigning the conditions in your workplace that matter most.

WELLBEING ISN’T AN ADD-ON.

IT’S PART OF HOW WORK WORKS.

Too often, workplace wellbeing is treated as something extra, the morning tea, yoga class, gym membership or reactive initiative introduced when people are already struggling. Amy sees it differently.

Wellbeing isn’t simply something employees manage outside work. It’s shaped by the conditions people work within, and those conditions influence how people perform, engage, connect and contribute.

Amy challenges the idea that wellbeing is soft, fluffy or separate from business performance. Her approach brings individual and collective responsibility together, helping organisations move beyond perks and programs to examine how work itself can support both people and performance.

Because when we create better conditions for people to work in, we create better conditions for people to thrive in.
