Youth, work, and mental health: let’s talk about it in Turin

We’re coming to the city to discuss work, mental health, and Gen Z. We’ll explore concrete solutions to make the working world more sustainable.

We’ll come together to talk about the changes happening in the world of work, the younger generation’s need to prioritize mental well-being and work-life balance, and what companies can do to create truly human-centered environments.

Why? Here are some useful stats:

  • 50% of Italian workers report feeling stressed because of work
  • 1 in 5 reports experiencing work-related stress daily
  • 67% say that psychological distress has impacted their work performance
  • About 38% say that their company shows complete disinterest in the issue of psychological well-being at work.

Moreover, according to data collected by EU-OSHA, over 9 million people in Italy suffer or have suffered from work-related stress, and about 46% of workers surveyed across Europe feel under significant pressure in the workplace.

So, what are the most urgent issues concerning the emotional well-being of workers, and how can we encourage companies to listen to the needs of young workers, and vice versa?

We’ll bring together new generations with senior professionals and host inspiring speakers who are transforming the world of work.

Turin, are you ready?! We’ll be in the beautiful spaces of Toolbox – at Via Agostino da Montefeltro, 2 in Turin (TO), and we’re proud to present some remarkable speakers, including:

  • Marwan Chaibi: President of Associazione Culturale NoSignal ETS
  • Lidia Di Vece: President of the Federation for the Economy of the Common Good in Italy
  • Simone Martinelli: Partner and COO of Hi!Founders

We’ll also discuss the fear of the future and financial stress with FunniFin (main partner) and concrete ways to focus on people development in companies with Ollipay (main partner).

  • Community partners: Joinrs Italia, GRLS, GeCo Italia APS, and Hi!Founders.
  • Media partners: Gli Stati Generali, FortuneUP, and smarTalks.
