Connecting, elevating and growing workplace wellbeing professionals

A collective for those shaping healthier, more human workplaces.

Workplace Wellbeing Professionals Aotearoa (WWPA) was born from a simple truth: workplace wellbeing deserves its own home. In a landscape where safety, HR, and health have long held space, a group of passionate wellbeing professionals saw the need for a collective focused squarely on the work of supporting people to thrive at work.

We’re a member-based organisation, guided by a volunteer Steering Committee, who care deeply about lifting the profession, strengthening connections, and growing capability across Aotearoa.

Our community brings together professionals from every corner of the workplace wellbeing ecosystem. Whether you're just starting out or have decades of experience, WWPA is here to support, connect and strengthen your work.

Why We Exist

The workplace wellbeing field is growing and evolving fast. Yet for many professionals in this space, it can feel lonely, undefined, or undervalued. WWPA was created to change that.

We’re here to:

  • Bring workplace wellbeing professionals together

  • Build the capability and confidence of the profession

  • Advocate for the role of wellbeing in better business and better lives

  • Offer events, resources, and opportunities to collaborate, connect and grow
