Speaking

Why this talk matters

Most organisations pour resources into leadership programmes, culture initiatives, and wellbeing perks. And then put their people in an environment that quietly undoes all of it.

Noise that fragments concentration. Lighting that exhausts the nervous system. Layouts that offer no real choice. Spaces designed for the average person, which means they work well for almost no one.

Elianne Alblas translates research from environmental psychology, neuroscience, and neuro-inclusive design into language business leaders actually understand: productivity, retention, focus, and the real cost of a workspace that drains people before the day has even started.

What your audience will walk away with

• A new lens on a problem they thought they already understood.
• The science behind what their space is doing to their people's nervous systems, explained without jargon.
• Why 1 in 5 people on their team experiences the workspace fundamentally differently, and what that costs.
• Three things they can change immediately, with minimal budget and immediate impact.
• A question that will change how they walk into their office on Monday morning.

Who this is for

Corporate HR and People teams. Facility and workplace managers. Leadership teams planning an office return or redesign. Conferences on wellbeing, inclusion, and the future of work.
