Belonging Matters: Building community and wellbeing in the workplace

Join us at this free webinar, presented by Dr Dougal Sutherland, on the big screen for Mental Health Awareness Week 2026 in Pokāpu Akoako, the Learning Centre.

Employees are more likely to stay, contribute and thrive when they feel they belong. Learn why connection remains a critical driver of wellbeing, engagement, and performance, and discover practical ways to build a psychologically safe workplace where people feel valued and connected.

Join the team at Umbrella for a lunchtime kōrero with clinical psychologist Dr Dougal Sutherland about the role belonging plays in creating healthy, high-performing workplaces. This free webinar is open to leaders, managers, HR professionals, wellbeing champions and employees interested in understanding the key drivers of belonging, trust, and psychological safety at work.

During this lunchtime webinar, Dougal will:

• Explore the business case for belonging at work
• Discuss what great teams do to help people feel valued, included, and connected
• Share evidence-based strategies on how leaders and teams can strengthen psychological safety and a sense of belonging in everyday workplace interactions
