Executive Wellbeing Event

Quinn Allan recently partnered with the National Institute of Integrative Medicine (NIIM) in Hawthorn to host a breakfast event for HR professionals and senior leaders from across our network.

The session was led by Integrative Psychologist Peter Webb, who presented NIIM’s Executive Health Check, a comprehensive and proactive health assessment tailored specifically for executives.

The discussion highlighted that stress is a significant and often underestimated challenge for executives, with the potential to impact performance and manifest in both mental and physical health issues. Attendees also explored how these challenges can go undetected, particularly where routine screenings may not capture underlying factors.

Further insights shared during the session noted that executives can experience hidden health risks, including cardiovascular issues, metabolic imbalances, gut dysfunction and poor sleep, which may not be immediately visible but can affect overall wellbeing and performance over time.

The session also covered the role of wellbeing programs in supporting leaders at both an individual and organisational level. This includes helping executives better manage stress, assess their health more holistically, and identify potential risks early to minimise impact on performance and retention.

Thank you to Peter Webb and the team at NIIM for hosting the event, and to those who attended and contributed to the discussion.
