Emily Warren is Avanade’s first Global Wellbeing Lead and is responsible for developing and implementing Avanade’s Well-being strategy across 26 countries and 17,000+ employees. Her personal experience with burnout led her to establish Avanade’s first cohort of mental health allies and initiated her move into HR. She collaborates with senior leaders to develop advocates and create a culture of well-being, integrating it into the Employee Experience, and shaping processes, policies and benefits. Emily’s efforts have transformed well-being within Avanade, making it a strategic company priority, integrating it into Avanade’s responsible business approach, and creating alignment with citizenship, sustainability, and inclusion initiatives. Through her leadership, Avanade has implemented a new training programme for managers and committed to training them in leading for well-being. A strong advocate for mental health and sharing stories, she has been recognized externally for her efforts. Her own journey has made her a thought leader and driving force behind Avanade’s commitment to well-being for all its employees worldwide.
