We participated in the EAEF Conference 2026, held on 11–12 June 2026 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The event brought together employee assistance professionals, wellbeing experts, HR leaders, and organizations committed to shaping the future of workplace support across Europe.

For Empatia, the conference was an important opportunity to join a highly relevant professional community focused on employee assistance, mental health, resilience, and the evolving role of wellbeing in the workplace. As a company that helps organizations support their people through psychological, legal, financial, and lifestyle guidance, we were glad to contribute to conversations that are directly connected to our mission.

This year’s conference theme — resilience, recovery, and the future of wellbeing and employee assistance — reflected many of the challenges companies are facing today. Throughout the event, discussions focused on how organizations can better support employees during periods of change, uncertainty, stress, and transformation.

We were especially inspired by the exchange of experience between professionals from different countries and markets. The conference highlighted how important it is for employee assistance programs to remain confidential, accessible, culturally sensitive, and truly practical for the people who use them.

Our participation in the EAEF Conference strengthened our belief that employee wellbeing is not only about responding to crisis situations. It is about building a reliable support system that helps employees feel heard, protected, and empowered in their everyday lives.

We are grateful to the EAEF community and everyone we connected with in Ljubljana for the thoughtful discussions, shared expertise, and open exchange of ideas. Events like this help move the industry forward — and inspire us to continue developing Empatia as a trusted partner for companies that want to care for their teams in a more human, structured, and sustainable way.
