NYC Alumni Chapter: Rethinking Mental Well-Being in Modern Work

Work success is heavily shaped by our mental state. Rising workloads, tight deadlines, and toxic environments are increasing stress, leading to burnout, lower performance, and declining job satisfaction worldwide.

Rachel E. Patterson will explain why corporate wellness is essential for performance and profitability, sharing insights from neuroscience and practical tools to build resilience and focus. Dr. Hendra Wijaya will show how burnout is a systemic issue and offer clear, research-based strategies to recognize warning signs and improve mental well-being at all organizational levels.

• When: 17:30 – 20:00, Tuesday 5 May 2026 (doors open at 17:15)
• Location: Rabobank, Times Square, 1151 W 42nd St, 8th Floor, New York City, NY 10036, United States.

Participate in a discussion and Q&A, followed by a networking reception with food and beverages inspired by the Mexican holiday 'Cinco de Mayo', creating a warm and festive atmosphere.
