FICCI L&D Summit 2025
In today's rapidly shifting world of work, employee wellbeing has become a cornerstone of sustainable organizational success. As businesses adapt to hybrid models, technological acceleration, and rising expectations of purpose-driven work, wellbeing must evolve from being a set of peripheral perks to a central driver of culture, leadership, and performance.
The Total Wellbeing Summit 2025, themed "From Perks to Purpose: Creating Wellbeing-First Workplaces", builds on the momentum of previous editions by challenging organizations to move beyond surface-level initiatives and embrace deep-rooted, strategic wellbeing frameworks.
As defined by the World Health Organization, health is "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." In this spirit, the summit will emphasize a holistic model of wellbeing-one that integrates mental, physical, emotional, financial, social, occupational, and spiritual health.
Despite rising awareness, stigma and systemic barriers still prevent many employees from accessing support. HR and business leaders now hold a unique opportunity-and responsibility-to not just respond to wellbeing needs, but to embed purpose, empathy, and equity into the very design of work. This involves shaping cultures of psychological safety, supporting gig and non-traditional workers, and embracing India's rich heritage of wellness practices such as Yoga, Ayurveda, and mindfulness.
