Embedding Wellbeing into the DNA of an Organisation

Lainie Cassidy, Director of People & Inclusion and Head of Mental Health & Wellbeing at KPMG Australia, offers a masterclass in creating sustainable, wellbeing-first cultures at PeopleFirst Summit ’25.

In “Embedding Wellbeing into the DNA of an Organisation,” Lainie challenges organisations to move beyond programs and perks toward systemic, leadership-driven change. She explains how true wellbeing is woven into decisions, everyday systems, and leadership behaviours — shaping environments where people can thrive without burning out. With experience leading national strategies and advising coalitions, Lainie provides practical insights on what organisations must stop doing, what actually works, and how expectations around wellbeing are evolving. For leaders seeking to balance high performance with human sustainability, her session delivers clarity and inspiration. Watch on-demand to learn how to embed wellbeing into your organisational DNA.
