In June 2025, Work Transformers partnered with Calibro in Belfast to host a thought-provoking panel on well-being in the workplace. The event brought together professionals from corporate real estate, HR, and design to explore how organisations can move beyond token gestures and embed well-being into the very fabric of their workplace strategies.
The session addressed how physical space, culture, and leadership practices intersect to shape employee health, performance, and retention. With input from both experts and attendees, the conversation highlighted the urgent need for well-being as a core business priority rather than an afterthought.

Impact
The Belfast session underlined that well-being cannot be a bolt-on. It must be woven into workplace design, strategy, and leadership to unlock sustainable performance. For Work Transformers, it was a valuable opportunity to convene regional leaders and push the conversation on what a truly supportive workplace should look like.
