One Mind at Work’s growing coalition of employers has always been committed to shared learnings and collective action. At this year’s Global Forum, we were thrilled to showcase all the ways our members are leveraging the power of partnership to advance our shared mission of supporting the mental health of the global workforce.
During our 2023 program, we showcased partnerships between industry peers, pilots between OMAW member companies, employers engaging with their communities, and how we can rethink the talent pipeline by understanding the impact of transitional moments. Some highlights include:

Panel Discussion
In today's world, employees are not just individual workers, but members of a larger community in which they live and socialize. Employers have an opportunity to support employees and understand the impact of community pressures on their employees' well-being, while making positive change. Capital Group, Meteorite, MUSC and others have been successful in leveraging their roles not just as employers but also as community leaders for the areas in which they operate. Each organization shared insights on how companies can extend support to their employees, to those that additionally serve as caregivers to family members or loved ones, and the communities they serve to improve overall well-being and performance in the workplace.

Panel Discussion
For the first time in modern history, there are five generations currently participating in the workforce. The ability to foster a workplace culture that is truly inclusive, supportive, and psychologically safe for all employees, regardless of their generational identity poses a challenge, but remains the ultimate goal.
One Mind at Work members leading efforts within their own organizations drove the conversation to discuss progress made so far and continued obstacles to overcome when it comes to how work design impacts employee engagement and how a supportive culture is critical to employee well-being. We also examined the challenges of managing across generational divides and how it affects the overall culture. To help build capacity for managers across all generations, we explored the employer's responsibility in this area and sought ways to support teams managed by managers across all generations, paving a way for a roadmap for a better workplace culture.

The Salus Award is named after the Staglin Family wine label, named Salus for the Roman goddess of wellbeing. Each year at the Global Forum, One Mind at Work presents the Salus Award to one individual and one organization in recognition of a remarkable commitment to advancing the adoption of one or more pillars of the One Mind at Work Charter.
The 2023 Salus Award for Workplace Mental Health was presented to George Demos, Allison Friend, and Mary Ellen Connerty on behalf of O’Melveny and Myers for their exemplary effort in championing mental health throughout their organization and beyond, and demonstrating the gold standard of membership of One Mind at Work.
The 2023 Salus Award for Individual Voices in Workplace Mental Health was presented to Jeffrey Tan for inspiring action within his organization, Jardines, and for his tireless partnership with One Mind at Work and other mental health leaders.

Yes. The Global Forum is invitation-only and all attendees must register. If you are interested in attending, please contact sarah.tol@onemind.org. This event is not open to the public and space is limited.
Registration to the event is free, but attendees are responsible for their own travel and lodging.
This year’s Global Forum will take place at the Archer Hotel Napa, located in downtown Napa. For reservation ease, a room block has been secured and is available through the event registration system.
The Archer Hotel Napa is located 60 miles north of the city of San Francisco, but easily accessible for visitors arriving to the San Francisco (SFO) and Oakland (OAK) airports, as well as the Santa Rosa (STS) and Sacramento (SMF) airports. To get to the forum, we suggest renting a car, booking a shuttle service, or using a rideshare app such as Lyft or Uber.
Transportation will be provided by One Mind at Work to the Monday evening reception and to the dinner on Tuesday evening.
You may request to register a guest, but we cannot guarantee that space will be available. We will maintain a waitlist up until the day of the event and will release tickets as they become available.
The Global Forum operates under the Chatham House Rule, so there will not be press at the event and no comments or statements will be directly attributed to an attendee without their explicit approval. We hire a professional photographer and publish a summary of the event that will be distributed to all attendees and published online.
We will provide breakfast and lunch on Tuesday and Wednesday. We will host a members-only reception on Monday evening, and speakers and attendees are invited to dinner on Tuesday evening at the Staglin Family Vineyard but must confirm attendance in advance.
Most attendees dress in business attire for the forum, slightly more casually than they would in an office meeting (ties and suits are not necessary). Keep in mind that Napa in September can be warm, but the venue will have air conditioning. Dress for the speaker and attendee dinner is typically “business cocktail” – but no need to change between the forum and dinner unless it is your preference.
