INCLUSION

Inside NVIDIA, at the centre of the AI boom, Martina Ercoli is working on a question that is becoming harder for every organisation to ignore: if performance, innovation and adaptability depend on people, why is wellbeing still so often treated as something peripheral to the “real” work?

This session challenges the idea that wellbeing is a programme, a perk or a one-off intervention. Instead, Martina introduces a more individualised philosophy: one size fits one. People respond differently to pressure, change, leadership, workload and uncertainty, so creating sustainable performance means designing for those differences rather than assuming one universal model will work for everyone.

Drawing on NVIDIA’s approach, Martina will share what this looks like in practice, from peer-to-peer Mental Health First Aid networks and senior leaders speaking openly about their own wellbeing, to executive sponsorship that signals wellbeing is part of business strategy rather than an HR add-on.
