Tech & Wellbeing: Solving the Right Problems in Work & Education

Event Summary

Businesses, educators, and communities are working hard—but are we identifying the real issues?

📉 Economic pressures are forcing companies to cut costs, lifting productivity and profit is urgent .
💼 Job losses are rising, so developing and retaining talent has never been so important.
🎓 Studentachievement rates are low, reversing disengagement, motivation and inspiration is needed in both education and the workforce.
📊 Wellbeing programs exist, yet burnout and absenteeism remain at record highs.

Everyone is investing in wellbeing, education, and workplace initiatives—so what's missing?

At Techweek 2025, we will challenge out dated ideas, and assumptions and provide solutions to the above. 

This session unpacks the Universal Wellbeing Evaluation Tool (UWET)—an evidence-based resource that quickly identifies the real causes behind workforce disengagement, retention struggles, and poor productivity and profit levels.

We're not here to sell another wellbeing trend—we're here to show how developing evidence-based insights can transform decision-making for businesses, schools, and organisations worldwide. Spend less, Achieve more and Faster.
