Mental health challenges affect one in four people, yet workplace wellbeing remains a critical issue for businesses and HR professionals. This seminar, delivered by Dr Charlie Smith, explores how emerging psychedelic therapies could reshape employee wellbeing, performance, and organisational culture. You’ll discover how management research can influence policymakers, the economic analyses behind treatment approval, and the barriers of stigma in the workplace. Perfect for students interested in Human Resource Management and Business, this session shows how cutting-edge research could transform the future of work and the role of HR in supporting employees.
