We are delighted to announce the appointment of Suhail Mirza as Chair of the Advisory Board for WHISatwork.

WHISatwork is the workplace wellbeing arm of the World Health Innovation Summit (WHIS). It is dedicated to helping organizations transition from reactive sick-care to proactive prevention, building healthier workforces and sustainable organizational cultures.


A Proven Leader in Inclusive Wellness Suhail Mirza brings a wealth of expertise in healthcare, workforce wellbeing, and organizational transformation. He is a former employment rights lawyer, bestselling author, and board advisor across the healthcare and recruitment sectors.

As the creator of the W.I.S.D.O.M. Programme™ and host of the acclaimed Voices of Care podcast, Suhail has dedicated his career to building inner resilience and fostering supportive work environments. His inclusive wellness approach has supported frontline NHS and healthcare teams throughout the UK, informing modules completed by over 10,000 healthcare professionals and receiving a nomination for the NHS Parliamentary Awards 2024 in Excellence in Mental Health Care.


Moving Workforces From Surviving to Thriving Modern workforces face unprecedented challenges, including rising stress, burnout, disengagement, and mental health strain. With an estimated 12 billion working days lost globally each year to anxiety and depression, organizations require prevention-led strategies that support the whole person.

Under Suhail’s leadership on the Advisory Board, WHISatwork is expanding its mission to move individuals, teams, and leadership “from surviving to thriving”. The WHISatwork framework is built around four core principles:

  • Simplicity: Practical, actionable strategies that fit into daily working lives.
  • Significance: Culture-integrated prevention delivering meaningful impact.
  • Shift: Sustainable mindset and behavioral changes.
  • Synergy: Aligning individual wellbeing with long-term organizational performance.

  • WHISatwork Immersive Retreats: Prevention-led retreat packages focused on stress resilience, physical and mental health, team collaboration, and personal growth.
  • Interactive Webinars & Digital Learning: Delivered via the W.I.S.D.O.M. Programme™, focusing on daily wellness habits, stress management tools, and emotional empowerment.
  • Leadership Coaching & Workshops: Tailored support for compassionate leadership, emotional awareness, navigating organizational change, and restoring wholeness.
  • **Psychologically Safe Spaces & Inclusive Support:**Targeted sessions addressing workplace discrimination, psychological recovery, and dedicated inclusive wellness for women’s networks and leaders.
